At Jenkins Design Build, we proudly serve the Texas Hill Country region, including communities near Kerrville such as Marble Falls, Liberty Hill, and Stonewall. While we are not based in Kerrville itself, our work and commitment extend throughout this beautiful and resilient area. The recent floods have tested our neighbors, but they have also revealed the remarkable strength, unity, and generosity that define the Hill Country spirit.

Organizations Leading the Relief Efforts

H-E-B

Founded in Kerrville, H-E-B has mobilized quickly, delivering truckloads of food and essential supplies to flood-affected areas. Their mobile kitchens provide hot meals to first responders and families, working closely with local officials and nonprofits to ensure help reaches those who need it most.

The Salvation Army

Serving as the official volunteer coordinator in Kerr County, the Salvation Army’s Kroc Center is a critical hub for collecting and distributing food, diapers, and cleaning supplies. Their efforts support both immediate relief and ongoing recovery.

The Vital Role of Skilled Volunteers

The overwhelming volunteer response has been inspiring, but as the situation evolves, organizations are prioritizing volunteers with specialized skills, construction, logistics, medical care, crisis counseling, to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable recovery. Skilled tradespeople and professionals are essential to rebuilding homes and lives.

A Personal Note

As builders, we know that every strong home, and every strong community, begins with a solid foundation. The courage and unity we see across the Hill Country remind us why we are proud to serve this region. Together, we can help our neighbors recover and rebuild, stronger than ever.

On a personal note, our co-owner Bethany Jenkins has signed up to volunteer with ADRN, an organization we deeply respect for their effective and compassionate disaster response. Like so many in the Hill Country, she is eager to serve wherever she can be most useful.
