reverence & resilience

  • REVERENCE PROJECT

    The Reverence Project transforms surrendered and unclaimed belongings into quilts and works of art that honor both the precious lives lost in July 4th floods as well as the efforts of the community coming together. Each piece is created with consent, intention, and respect—offering beauty where there was loss. These collective artworks will travel to galleries and community spaces before returning home to Kerr County. It is both remembrance and renewal—an act of love stitched and shaped by local hands.

  • REUNIFICATION DAYS & Holidays

    Reunification Days are private, scheduled times dedicated to returning recovered belongings to families affected by the flood. Each day is handled with care and dignity—allowing families to move slowly, ask questions, and receive items in a peaceful setting. Volunteers assist gently, ensuring every return is respectful, documented, and heartfelt. As we near the holidays, we’ll offer fewer hours but more intentional times for families to visit the warehouse—so please stay posted for updates. It’s about more than objects—it’s about reuniting people with their stories

    Current dates:

    October 17th & 18th 2pm-5pm

  • Sustain & Support

    Sustain and Support

    Found on the Guadalupe River Project, in partnership with Mission Haus Foundation, will assume the warehouse lease this fall to continue serving families beyond the initial 90 days. Every item that passes through these doors represents a story, a memory, a piece of someone’s life—and our work isn’t done yet. We’ve operated entirely through the generosity of others, never with taxpayer funding, and we’re asking for your help to keep this space open. If you’d like to support the ongoing reunification and reverence efforts, donations can be made here.

  • Group Workdays & Winter Schedule

    Group Workdays & Winter Schedule

    As we move toward the holiday season, we’ll be shifting to a lighter, more intentional schedule at the warehouse. Beginning this month, group workdays will be held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, offering volunteers the chance to join together in meaningful service. You can sign up to help below.

    During this time, regular warehouse hours will scale back from three days a week to one dedicated day, with appointments available by request on Mondays for families and special projects. This rhythm allows us to sustain the work with care while honoring the season’s need for rest and reflection. goes here

    AirTag Initiative

    As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and preparedness, Found on the Guadalupe River Project has begun collecting new AirTags & bracelets to make available to local camps and Guadalupe River visitors in the future.

    Even beyond the 90-day mark, we continue to receive recovered technology that still functions, reminding us how valuable simple tools of connection can be.

    These AirTags may not only help locate belongings—they could one day help save lives.

  • End Goal

    Our Ongoing Commitment

    When we began, we thought this work might last ninety days. But time has shown us that healing and reunification move at their own pace. What started as an emergency effort has become a calling—to remain present as long as our community needs us. We believe that returning belongings to their rightful owners is both an honor and a sacred responsibility, and we will continue to evolve our role with care and integrity. Our end goal is to ensure that every item finds its peace—either reunited with its family or transformed into something that stands as a lasting tribute to the people of this community.

From day one through our first ninety days, Found on the Guadalupe River Project mobilized in an unprecedented way—uniting volunteers, families, and local partners to recover, clean, and return thousands of belongings. What began as a grassroots effort quickly became a coordinated movement of compassion and action, proving what a community can accomplish when it comes together with purpose.
