Six months. Six months of perseverance. Six months of coming together. Six months of steady recovery.
In the early morning hours of July 4, 2025, our beloved Hunt community was forever changed. What did not change, however, was the spirit of Hunt itself — our self-reliance, our resilience, and our enduring commitment to helping our neighbors.
In the immediate aftermath of the flood, Hunt residents stepped forward without hesitation, assisting in search and rescue efforts and checking on neighbors in need. At the same time, the Hunt Preservation Society, along with a group of other community leaders, began organizing – gathering the names of impacted residents and coordinating a recovery effort to address urgent needs as quickly as possible. With the extraordinary generosity of donors from across the country and around the world, and through the steadfast partnership of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and the Kerr Together Long-Term Recovery Group, relief funds and critical assistance were rapidly delivered to those most vulnerable, including our elderly neighbors, families with young children, and individuals requiring medical support, and continued into the repair and rebuild of homes across West Kerr.
Today, as many residents continue moving forward on the path to recovery, our focus turns toward revitalization and renewal of the community assets that define Hunt and sustain its future. Rebuilding and strengthening cornerstone assets, such as The Hunt Store, Crider’s, our camps, and short-term rentals, ensures Hunt not only recovers, but emerges stronger for generations to come.
