Why this matters in The San Antonio
The $1 million donation from James Avery jewelry to aid in Hill Country flood recovery efforts is a significant boost to the region's relief and rebuilding process. Given the company's roots in Kerrville, this commitment is especially meaningful, as many of its team members have been directly impacted by the floods. This donation builds on James Avery's previous support for flood recovery, including its $500,000 contribution to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country following last year's flooding. The fact that Kerrville and Kerr County are once again dealing with severe flood damage, including the closure of the county courthouse, underscores the need for sustained support from local businesses and organizations. James Avery's generosity will help address pressing needs, such as food, shelter, and mental health care, and serves as a model for other companies to follow in supporting their communities during times of crisis.
