The National Football League continues to step up to provide support following the devastating Texas flooding that claimed the lives of more than 100 people. Now, three NFL teams have joined a growing list of clubs providing donations for relief and recovery efforts.

The Minnesota Vikings and the Wilf family announced that they are donating $500,000 to the Texas Hill Country flooding relief and recovery. Minnesota’s donation matches those made by the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys, and the NFL.

The Atlanta Falcons also donated $500,000 through the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, with the club seeking to provide financial support for both the region’s long-term recovery and ongoing relief efforts.

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also contributed to relief efforts, donating $500,000 this week. The Hunt family was directly impacted by the tragedy, with one of their relatives among the campers at Camp Mystic who lost their lives.

“Our family is devastated by the tragedy in Central Texas. Our hearts go out to those grieving — in particular, to the parents who lost children, those who lost family members, and the far-too-many who have lost friends, neighbors, and loved ones. This has shaken our community to its core. Today, along with our MLS partners, my brother, [Dan], and I are humbled to support those directly assisting the victims of this unimaginable tragedy. In the wake of such sadness, we are awed by the hearts of our fellow Texans, and we are grateful for the true community leaders — in boats, helicopters or trucks filled with food — who are showing up for their neighbors in need.”
