Kubota North America is offering support to those affected by the devastating floods that swept through Kerrville and surrounding areas of Central Texas. The company just announced a contribution to assist in clean-up and restoration efforts with the donation of construction equipment, generators and $100,000 to help the affected communities recover from the disaster.
According to the press release, Kubota is working in partnership with its local dealers — Ewald Kubota and Texas Ag Equipment — nearest the hardest-hit areas, with locations in Fredericksburg and Alpine, Texas. Funding from Kubota will be directed to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to ensure immediate aid reaches those who need it most.
“We’re all heartbroken by what happened in Kerr County and the surrounding communities,” said Alex Woods, president of Kubota Tractor Corporation. “The scale of the devastation and the loss experienced by so many families is difficult to comprehend. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, especially those still waiting for news about loved ones. We hope that our assistance can offer meaningful support to first responders, recovery teams and local residents as they work through the difficult and ongoing process of debris removal, clean-up and recovery. Kubota stands with these communities as they face the challenging days ahead.”

Kubota North America emphasized that it remains committed to supporting the communities where its employees, customers and dealers live and work, especially during times of crisis. The press release also included that Kubota is launching a matching gifts campaign for employees wishing to contribute to the relief effort.
