Governor Greg Abbott participated in a volunteer appreciation event in Kerrville, Texas, where he served meals to individuals who contributed to rebuilding the Dietert Center after severe flooding occurred in July. The event was organized by Hunt. Fish. Feed. and Spectrum.

Addressing the volunteers, Governor Abbott stated: "You are the heart and soul of the community. Whether you live here, work here, or eat here, you depend on the people here. This is your home, and we all have a collective goal — and that is to ensure you are going to be safe and secure permanently in your home right here in Kerr County. We're going to be here every day, every step of the way, until we completely rebuild this entire region."

Governor Abbott acknowledged the efforts of those involved in recovery work following the flooding and emphasized that collaboration has been key to rebuilding efforts across Texas. He noted that state support remains ongoing for communities affected by the disaster.

He also expressed gratitude toward Hunt. Fish. Feed. and Spectrum for their contributions during recovery operations.

Attendees at the luncheon included Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, Representative Wes Virdell, Dietert Center Executive Director Brenda Thompson, Hunt. Feed. Fish. Director of Marketing Dave Munroe, Spectrum Communications Vice President of Government Affairs Ned Munoz, as well as other state and local officials.

Additional photographs from the event will be made available when ready.
