How to Help With The Texas Wildfire Disaster

***UPCOMING FUNDAISING EFFORT***

Join us at Buns Over Texas on Thursday, March 19th. They will be donating 15% of all purchases from 5pm to 9pm to the Wildfire Relief fund!

The recent wildfires in the Texas Panhandle have left many of our area residents to deal with incalculable damages and losses. Your help is needed now more than ever.

We've partnered with Amarillo National Bank and the Amarillo Area Foundation in their efforts to funnel help to those who need it most. Below are the two ways that you can contribute to the recovery of the Panhandle through these organizations.

The Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund

Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund - DONATION PORTAL - Opened by the Amarillo Area Foundation in 2006, the PDRF has since assisted residents with the loss of millions of dollars in homes, businesses, out-buildings, vehicles, livestock, grazing land, and fencing to wildfires.

You may also mail a check to: AAF – Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund, 919 S. Polk, Amarillo, TX 79101.

Amarillo National Bank

Individuals who are a member of ANB can make a donation by transferring funds from their account to the relief fund, by phone or in person.

Those who are not a member with the ANB can make a donation in person at any of their branches to benefit the Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund.

ANB recently contributed a gift of $1 million to the Wildlife Disaster Fund.
