Astound Supports Burnet County Community Following July 4th Floods

San Marcos, TX– (July 24, 2025) – On July 19th, Astound volunteers rallied in Burnet County to help those impacted by the devastating flash floods over the July 4th weekend. During the day-long event at the Ark of Highland Lakes warehouse, they prepared 600 servings of food for flood survivors, first responders, workers, and volunteers as counties across Texas recover and rebuild.

Ark of Highland Lakes is a Marble Falls non-profit designated as a crisis center for relief efforts. Astound employees and their family members also delivered meals and cleaning supplies in Granite Shoals, Horseshoe Bay, Burnet, and Spicewood. Astound is the area’s provider of Wi-Fi, mobile, TV, and business solutions.

“So many communities across the state have been uprooted by these floods, and our local Astound team wanted to come together to support victims and those bravely responding to the crisis,” says Mike Carrosquilla, SVP and General Manager of Astound. “Knowing this has been a traumatic time for many, we’re committed in any way possible to helping people get back on their feet. The Astound team has plans to volunteer at another event site next month.”

Astound’s Grande Cares Club is currently accepting contributions to the Grande Community Chest, an organization that aids non-profits in the Astound service area in Texas. Donations can be made using the QR code below.

The Ark of Highland Lakes is coordinating donation collections and volunteer efforts for debris clean-up and food distribution in response to the heightened needs of the community.
