The Ranch Hand Truckfitters stores in San Antonio and Boerne, Texas, are hosting a donation drop for those affected by the flood that took place over Memorial Day Weekend in Wimberley, Texas.
 
Saturday night, the Blanco River rose over 12 feet in thirty minutes at the sensing station in Wimberley. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed, and the flood has displaced at least one thousand people.
 
There are many people without homes, food and other necessities. Many efforts have been set up in Wimberley to help those that are currently in need.
 
Ranch Hand Truckfitters wants to help the community of Wimberley by being an outlet to people who want to donate but are unable to bring items to the affected area. The Truckfitters stores in San Antonio and Boerne invite anyone who wants to help those affected by the flood to drop off any food, clothes or monetary donations at our stores at 2625 Broadway in San Antonio and 32954 IH 10 West in Boerne.
