ROGERS, Ark. — Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, a Rogers-based nonprofit, is sending more help to Texas after deadly flooding devastated communities over the holiday weekend.

A few ambassadors are already on the ground, focusing their efforts in northern central Texas—areas like Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and Marble Falls, which they say were hit hard but have received less attention than other regions.

“This is an opportunity for them to heal by helping others,” said Sgt. Major Lance Nutt, CEO and founder of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance.

The team is helping clear roads and remove debris from homes and businesses.

“We’re planning on doing quite a bit of muck out, which is where we’ll go into homes and help again, cleaning out the houses of mud and debris,” Sgt. Major Nutt said.

One volunteer described the San Gabriel River rising more than 30 feet, wiping out structures and leaving many homes uninhabitable—or missing altogether.

“It’s a lot bigger than what people realize,” said Ambassador Giovanni Palavicini.

While providing relief and recovery is what this organization does Palavicini says they haven’t quite got to that phase yet.

“There’s people still out there searching for loved ones,” he said. “They’re still grieving. Some of them haven’t had that closure that we’re talking about.”

“That’s what we’re out there doing right, is being able to give these people the opportunity to to feel like they matter, feel like they’re seen, feel like they’ve got hope to to rebuild and and recover from this,” the ambassador said.

A team of about 70 volunteers from the organization will head to Texas this Sunday to continue recovery efforts.
