USAA Stands with Our Communities to Provide Support Amid Devastating Texas Floods

Association commits $500,000 and activates employee volunteers to support

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As first responders continue their efforts amid destructive flooding in Central Texas, USAA has committed $500,000 in philanthropic grants to help with search and recovery efforts and will activate employee volunteers to serve local communities.

“The destruction and loss we are seeing in Texas is heartbreaking, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially the families of those who have lost loved ones and those who are still waiting to hear news,” said Juan C. Andrade, President & CEO of USAA. “We have been part of this community for more than 100 years and we will show up with action, compassion and a willingness to help our neighbors and our members recover and rebuild. We are grateful to first responders for their ongoing and tireless efforts.”

USAA has committed $500,000 across multiple organizations to immediately respond to this event, including Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, Texas Search & Rescue, Red Cross and Salvation Army. Funding to these organizations addresses needs, including emergency sheltering and feeding, ground search and rescue, aerial search and disaster recovery assistance. This support is in addition to the $1.3 million that the Association has already committed this year to proactively provide support to organizations to serve our communities.

With more than 17,000 employees in the San Antonio area, USAA also is activating its volunteer programs to work alongside Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization, and other organizations on the ground.

“Our mission to serve includes supporting the communities where we live and work. Service is in our DNA, and this is where the USAA family shows its heart,” said Andrade. “This weekend’s events are a reminder of how quickly lives can change and how important it is to support one another whenever and however we can.”
