Our hearts are with everyone in the Texas Hill Country.

Southern Smoke Foundation provides financial relief once immediate rescue efforts have ended and recovery begins, positioning ourselves as a second-phase responder in the long-term disaster relief process. 

We have committed $150,000 in initial funding to start this effort and are ready to provide additional support through further funding as needed. Our partners at Sysco have generously offered to match $15K in any additional donations so we can maximize our impact in the area. 

We will launch a dedicated emergency relief application for the Texas Hill Country on August 15, giving F+B workers who were affected by this tragedy time to process and assess their needs. If funding is needed for funeral costs or urgent medical needs, we encourage those F+B workers to apply via our existing emergency relief application now.

Southern Smoke is accepting applications now for our Behind You program, offering no-cost counseling to food and beverage workers. Learn more about eligibility and apply here. 

Telehealth services will be available starting mid-August based on availability. We encourage all eligible F+B workers in Texas to sign up now so that they're ready to begin as spots become available.
