We’re heartbroken by the devastation in Central Texas following the recent floods. Our thoughts are with the families who are grieving the loss of loved ones, and we recognize that the recovery from this terrible event will take time.

In Texas, our Ford employees, dealers, and Building Together nonprofit partners are stepping up to provide immediate assistance and lay the foundation for recovery. From running shelters and reunification centers to distributing emergency food boxes, our nonprofit partners are leading vital efforts to help families and first responders across Kerr and Tom Green Counties.

As the Ford community rallies together in support of Texas, other efforts include:

• Texas Ford Dealers and Ford Philanthropy are donating a combined $1.25 million to support local organizations in Central Texas. This donation will support the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and local affiliates of our Building Together partners.
  
  
• Ford Dealers are providing loaner vehicles to the American Red Cross to power their recovery efforts. Our loaner vehicle program is enabling our partners to expand and scale their response efforts to reach impacted areas.
  
  
• Ford employees are packing food boxes to support families in Texas. On Thursday, July 17, Ford employees and dealers will come together at the North Texas Food Bank, a partner in the Feeding America network, to pack food boxes to support local Texas families, including those who may have been impacted by the recent floods.
  
  
• Ford Volunteer Corps members are preparing to deploy to Texas with Team Rubicon. Through our Extended Volunteer Paid Time Off Policy, our “Greyshirt” trained Ford volunteers are preparing to join Team Rubicon’s mission on the ground as their recovery efforts begin in Texas.
  
  
• Ford Credit is offering deferred payment to our customers in FEMA-designated areas. Ford Credit and Lincoln Automotive Financial Services are helping customers affected by the severe storms, straight-line winds, and tragic flooding in Texas by offering payment extensions of up to 60 days. Customers can request an extension by visiting www.ford.com/finance or through the Ford Credit app.

We want to thank our nonprofit partners and all the first responders who are on the ground working tirelessly to help those who need it most. Our Ford employees, dealers, and partners are standing by to support families and first responders in the weeks and months ahead.
