About
Millions of residents in Texas experienced historic snowfall and single digit temperatures, causing the state’s power grid to fail. The Texas community is facing unprecedented obstacles including no power and running water. In addition, the winter weather has affected supply chains and local resident access to basic necessities, including food. Our Paris, TX, facility has temporarily suspended operations due to the storm, affecting more than 750 local Campbell employees. Organizations in this fund are working around the clock to provide shelters, warming stations and access to basic needs such as food and water for Texas residents. All donations will be matched 50% by Campbell.
