These Texas hospitals need food, assistance during the winter storm. Here’s how to help

The dangerous winter storm that is devastating Texas has caused a need for food and other items at hospitals across the Lone Star State.

Icy conditions, and power and water outages have disrupted the supply chain across the state, and medical staff and patients are also being affected.

Some of the needed items include prepared food, water and milk. Here’s a full list of the Texas hospitals needing assistance, along with ways to help.
