The Houston disaster. What can you do to help?


People of all faith, of all colors, of all parties, come together to help flood victims.  With the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey being called the worst rainfall in the history of the Gulf Coast, people are asking, “What can I do to help?”

Much of Houston, Texas is under water. It is possible that MILLIONS of people are being displaced from their homes by this natural disaster, where Houston has seen at least 50 inches of rain fall in just a few hours. It’s a disaster that is hard to get your mind around. But what is most important is for Americans to come together to do what Americans do best: solve problems and help people.

The Roadrunner is partnering with the Valley Center Rotary Club (and any other service clubs that want to jump on board) to raise as much money as possible as quickly as possible and send them to the Lone Star State to help our fellow Americans brave one of the worst disasters in modern history.

Because the Rotary Club is a non-profit, people who want to make donations can send cash or checks made payable to the Rotary Club of Valley Center, with “Texas relief” written in the memo.

Mail to Rotary Club of Valley Center, P.O. Box 493, Valley Center, CA 92082 or, if you are using cash or credit/debit cards, call the Roadrunner office at 760-749-1112 or drop by the Roadrunner office at 29115 Valley Center Rd., Ste. L (next door to the Chamber of Commerce office.)  It will still be charged using the Rotary Club’s account.

Donations can also be dropped off at California Bank & Trust Valley Center or Escondido Branch.

As this effort grows we will keep our readers informed.  The rest of the country has come together to help Valley Center during its times of need, it’s time to return the favor. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thank you for doing this! I have friends (more like family) in Houston who are struggling to stay above water, literally. They need all the help we can send them. Valley Center is a great community, and I applaud the help you are sending to Texas. God bless you all!
