Uvalde Community Resources

We want to extend our deepest sympathies to the Uvalde community and the families of the 21 victims of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. Some of you have already made donations, given blood, sent support, or are working directly with the Uvalde community. We thank you for that.

As Texas continues to grieve, some of you have reached out to us for guidance on ways you can help. Greater Houston Community Foundation has curated a list of ways you can provide direct aid to those affected by Tuesday’s shooting. These resources will offer the support that will be needed in the coming days, months, and years to help the Uvalde community recover.

Make a Donation

Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and the San Antonio Area Foundation have partnered to establish two funds to support the community of Uvalde.

  • Uvalde Strong Survivors Fund
    Uvalde Strong Survivors Fund will provide direct financial assistance to the survivors of the deceased and those directly affected by this tragedy. One hundred percent (100%) of the contributions donated to this fund will go directly to victims and survivors. Charitable donations to this fund are fully tax deductible.
  • Uvalde Strong Fund
    Uvalde Strong is an emergency relief fund to support area nonprofits that will provide long-term assistance, including mental health services, in the Uvalde community. Charitable donations to this fund are fully tax deductible.

The First State Bank of Uvalde has set up a memorial account for the families of Robb Elementary. Checks should be payable to “Robb School Memorial Fund” and mailed to: 200 E. Nopal Street, Uvalde, TX 78001 or can be made via Zelle to: [email protected] or via 830-278-6231.

United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County has created the “United with Uvalde” fund. Money from the “United with Uvalde” fund will be used to support immediate and long-term mental health services. The funds will also address any emerging needs that develop in the future. 100% of the fund will support the students, teachers and families in Uvalde. Funds will be made available to nonprofit organizations with experience and expertise in providing direct mental health services for communities impacted by trauma.
