As southeast Texas slowly recovers from Hurricane Beryl, lingering power outages, food shortages, and intense heat are compounding difficulties for residents and disaster response teams alike.
Operation Blessing is set up in the town of Brazoria, rushing to meet multiple needs created in the aftermath of the storm. The storm left more than 2 million customers in the dark and more than a week later, tens of thousands are still without power. Bob Burke with OB is helping lead the charge to restore a sense of normalcy to the town.

“From the first day we were here, we’ve had people driving up and asking if we had food available,” Burke said.
He said no electricity combined with oppressive heat and depleted food banks have created a dire situation.
“We lost all of our food because of the power outage – and payday’s not until next week,” said one survivor. “Every little bit helps.”
One week ago, #HurricaneBeryl stormed through #Texas, and survivors are still broken throughout the hardest-hit areas. But our #volunteers showed up to bless those who needed a helping hand. https://t.co/fDHQ1zhB7o#OBI #DisasterRelief
