Help the Central Texas wildfire victims – drop off items at Schipul + donate!

Texas Wildfires

It’s always inspiring to see how the Web can make an impact on real world events and needs.  The recent wildfires in Texas have hit very close to home for the (Houston headquartered) Schipul team.  Thousands are now homeless with fires still raging across our dry state.

We live in a beautiful state with even more beautiful people – seeing the destruction and pain of our fellow Texans is difficult to say the least.  Let’s continue our support to these great communities!

Help support Texas wildfire victims

Watching the wildfire support Tweets and reading about Facebook groups dedicated to helping folks on the fiery ground is only confirmation of what a great connective tool the Web can be.

Drop your wildfire relief items at the Schipul office!

The Schipul office is collecting items (clothing, food, household goods, toys, garbage bags, gloves, toiletries, gift cards) for families affected by the Central Texas wildfire – dropping them off on Wednesday, September 13th to Bastrop. Join event on Facebook.

Are you in the area?  Swing by with your items at our office in West Houston on Monday (9/12) and Tuesday (9/13) from 8:30am – 5:30pm (11757 Katy Freeway, Suite 930 Houston, TX  77079).

Can’t make it here?  Give us a call:  (281) 497.6567 and we may be able to pick up your donation too, depending on where your office is.
