Seeing a need to extend a helping hand in the aftermath of a natural disaster, Christ Church of Longboat Key is hosting an event to support those recovering from severe flooding in Texas.

Flash floods affected the Hill Country region of Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. More than 100 people died, and more went missing.

Congregation members have ties to affected communities, and they were inspired to host a fundraiser luncheon to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

The Texan food-inspired buffet is free, and all donations go toward helping affected families. It begins at 11 a.m. on Aug. 3 at 6400 Gulf of Mexico Drive, immediately after the 10 a.m. service.
