Hurricane Ike Relief

Today we had scheduled an email announcing the success of our ongoing dollar-for-dollar fundraising match program. With the events of this past weekend and the destruction left by Hurricane Ike, we thought it better to ask our friends and supporters to help our neighbors in need.


With that said, we have compiled a list of contact numbers and websites for aid organizations throughout our great state. With storm damage affecting multiple counties and millions of people, plus tens of thousands of evacuees in places that may be unfamiliar and far from home, our help is needed in every corner of Texas. We would ask that you please consider donating money, time, clothing and/or food to any of these organizations.

Working together, as neighbors and as Texans, we will repair and rebuild.


Best regards,
Texas State House Democrats


State Rep. Jim Dunnam


State Rep. Garnet Coleman
