Through our Disaster Relief Fund, Texas AFT has a long history of helping our members in need during catastrophic events.
Whether our members have been affected by tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, school shootings, or other catastrophic events, Texas AFT is ready to help — through disaster relief checks, safe places to stay, and hands-on cleanup help. Thanks to the generosity of AFT members, we have established our Texas AFT Disaster Relief Fund.
Our fund provides donors a tax-deductible opportunity to help others. 100% of proceeds are distributed to members.
