HOUSTON – Several organizations, private companies, and residents of the Space City are joining forces to help the victims of the devastating hurricanes Helene and Milton that have left massive devastation after passing through Florida in recent days.
The Astros Foundation and Cotton Holdings have announced two supply drives on October 10 and 11 in the Houston area. These events will take place in Sugar Land and Minute Maid Park in Houston, with the aim of collecting essential items for affected communities.
In addition to the collections, the Salvation Army has deployed 17 volunteers from Houston to support the most damaged areas, providing hot meals, water and emotional assistance to survivors.
