"I'm a member of the church. We opened up the church for evacuees, and I just felt like this was something we need to do for people who are struggling," one volunteer said.
"I'm very happy to be here to offer support. I'll do whatever I can to help them with whatever they need," another said.
Volunteers had gathered pet carriers for people who had to leave home without notice with cats and dogs Sunday. One volunteer also said he had space available for livestock and cattle that had to be moved out of the area on trailers.
"If anybody needs a pasture to put them in, I can put them where they can have water and shelter," he said. "With possible storms, I would be very happy to do that for anybody."
Hood County is accepting donations for evacuees and firefighters at Decker Gym, located at 600 W. Bridge St in Granbury through 6 p.m. Monday.

*Lip balm
* Eye wash
*Alcohol-free wipes
*Over the counter pain relievers (Tylenol or Advil)
