Curran said the school would not initially open on Saturday, but the building was suppressed again when supplies began to pour into Kerr County. Volunteers worked Saturday and Sunday and organized donations, including toiletries, bottled water, non-rotten food, and other essentials for struggling local families. Despite appreciation for the generous donations, Curran suspected the supplies would be particularly useful after the initial volunteers and donations disappeared.
“In a disaster like this, the initial influx of all these support and helps,” Curran said. “Then, when these support and helps exit, the community still needs these things here. So we will be organized and ready to do it for that purpose.”

When asked how the operations of Ingram Elementary School can grow rapidly, Curran attributes the community to the support of the community.
“What is really impressive is our community, and I know that, but when you’re facing a community that really needs to assemble and step up a disaster in a disaster, nothing can tell you,” Curran said. “Their response has been overwhelming.”
