In the aftermath of the devastating July 4th flooding in Sandy Creek Ranches, one organization has stepped forward to lead the charge in coordinating relief efforts: Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN).
ADRN is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization made up of nearly 200 Greater Austin churches and thousands of trained volunteers, all committed to responding quickly and effectively when disaster strikes. Their mission is simple but powerful—to bring hope into crisis.
Thanks to ADRN’s preparedness, coordination, and compassionate response, families in Sandy Creek are already receiving critical support. From debris removal and cleanup crews to emotional and spiritual care, ADRN is organizing resources and volunteers to meet the overwhelming needs of our community.
