The Vikings and the Wilf Family are joining the NFL, Texans, and Cowboys in donating $500,000 to relief efforts following the devastating floods that impacted central Texas.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Viking and Wilf Family announced a $500,000 donation to support rescue and recovery efforts following the devastating floods that impacted the central Texas area over the Fourth of July weekend.

The Texans and Cowboys both announced $500,000 donations earlier this week, with the NFL officially matching the amount to bring the first donation total to $1.5 million.

“We are deeply saddened by the continued devastation and loss of life in the Texas Hill Country and can’t imagine the pain so many are experiencing,” the Wilf Family said in their official statement. “We are praying for peace for the families who have lost a loved one and strength for those who continue to risk their lives leading the rescue and recovery effort.”

As of Thursday morning, the current death toll was up to 95 with as many as 161 people still missing, including several girls from a local camp.
