Houston ToolBank

When we began helping needy Houston ISD families, we were surprised that they regularly request cleaning supplies. We soon realized that parents struggling to afford rent & food are sometimes unable to buy basic cleansers to help keep their families healthy. Thank you to the Houston ToolBank, for donating disinfectant, and to their Bank of America Student Leaders interns for organizing & loading the supplies. Houston Independent School District

With the IA declaration for the recent severe storms across the Greater Houston area, SBP Houston is offering services to survivors through the Disaster Assistance Program (DAP).

DAP helps impacted residents appeal their FEMA awards in IA-declared disasters. This is an essential gap-filler because oftentimes, FEMA funding is the only assistance people receive.

All survivors should apply for FEMA and appeal any denials or low awards. SBP is available to help. You can reach SBP by:

1. Submitting a request through their website: sbpusa.org/gethelp
2. Emailing [email protected]
3. Calling 1-800-276-9511
