LIST: Where to get free water, hot meals in Austin if you need help

Austin breweries help supply water while city waits for shipments

After Austin Water customers found their faucets running dry, Meanwhile Brewing decided sharing their supply was the right thing to do. 

AUSTIN, Texas - Thousands of Texans in Austin and the surrounding areas lost power, water, or essential services during a winter storm that led to freezing temperatures and hazardous road conditions throughout the state.

City officials, local businesses, and other organizations are providing water, hot meals, and support for people seeking help. Many nonprofit organizations are also asking for donations so they can help people experiencing homelessness or those who are in need of support.

Here’s a list of the resources being offered.
