Mayor David McDavid, along with a team of 14 members from the City of Zachary, Zachary Fire Department, Zachary Police Department, and local business Thornton, Musso & Bellemin, recently returned from Kerrville, Texas, where they served meals to 500 residents impacted by the devastating flooding on the morning of July 4.

The Mayor was contacted by the American Legion Post 208 in Kerrville, which has been partnering with cooking teams from across the country to support the community. The Zachary team prepared jambalaya and smoked chicken dinners, which were warmly received.

Mayor McDavid’s son, Brad McDavid, a Safety Professional with Civitas Resources in San Antonio, also joined the effort, distributing First Aid Kits to residents as they picked up their meals.

“It was truly rewarding to assist those who have endured such tremendous loss from this tragic flooding, which claimed so many lives,” said Mayor McDavid. “When the call for help came, our team was ready to travel to Kerrville and serve those in need. Disasters like flash flooding can strike any community without warning, and we were proud to be there to lend a hand. I’m especially grateful to Thornton, Musso & Bellemin and SW Wholesale Foods for their generous food donations, which made this outreach possible.”
