‘Come Together For Texas’: Bell Works To Host Fundraiser For Flood Recovery

HOLMDEL, NJ — This Thursday, Bell Works will host a fundraiser to support those affected by the recent floods in Texas.

Throughout the day, participating retailers will donate a portion of their proceeds to relief efforts, and Bell Works will host an on-site clothing and canned food donation drive by the Main Reception Desk.

From 5-8 p.m., visitors can stop by Bar Bella to hear Texas-inspired live music by Kathleen Elle. The bar will also be donating proceeds to aid relief efforts to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

Some participating retailers include:

• Bell Market (donating 50% of proceeds after 3 p.m.)
• Bar Bella (donating 100% of proceeds from 5-8 p.m.)
• Mabel (donating 50% of proceeds from specials)
• Miznon (donating 50% of gross proceeds after 3 p.m.)
• Swing Loose (donating 50% of proceeds all day)

Inspired by Somerset Development, the developer behind Bell Works, will also be matching all proceeds up to $10,000, officials said.

“Our hearts are with everyone affected by the recent tragedy in Central Texas,” Bell Works officials said. “In times like these, coming together matters most.”

In the days since the Texas Hill Country flooding over July 4 weekend, at least 134 people have been confirmed dead, according to a report from The Guardian.

Alongside those who died in the floods, the report said crews are continuing to search for the 101 people still missing, as heavy rain forced crews to pause search efforts over the weekend.

According to Meteorologist Bob Henson, the floods are now the deadliest from inland flooding in the U.S. since 1976, when Colorado's Big Thompson Canyon flooded, killing 144 people.

Bell Works is located at 101 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel.
