Texas wildfires have destroyed over 1,000 homes caused by drought conditions and high winds. The damages have cost the state’s agricultural industry over $5 billion in damages

About the HWNT:
We are the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas, founded in Austin in 1986. We have two chapters here in DFW- Dallas and Fort Worth. Our mission is to promote the participation of Hispanic women in public, corporate and civic arenas. HWNT seeks to advance the educational, cultural, social, legal and economic well- being of all women through a broader awareness of their role in society, business and family. Each of our DFW Chapters are strongly committed to mentoring high school young ladies as they prepare for college.
We are helping organize the DFW Texas Wildfire Donation Drive as a way to show our fellow Texans that have been devastated by the wildfires that we care. Our organization is like a family and even has several generation of mothers and daughters that have grown up contributing to HWNT. As mothers and daughters our hearts go out to those families in Bastrop and Central Texas so we're very driven to help in any way we can. The list of organizations wanting to partner with us keeps growing, further exemplifying the how great the citizens of DFW truly are!
