Both organizations don't know how long they'll be in the area but say they're prepared to stay for as long as it takes for power to return.
As of Wednesday evening, more than 1.2 million were still without power in the Greater Houston area following Hurricane Beryl , and volunteers from Central Texas say they're committed to staying down there to help until power is restored.
"Unfortunately, there's also a lot of need in the community, a lot of power outages," Jimmy Stanford, Salvation Army's Texas Operations Director, said. "If you have three days of power outages, you lose all the food that's in your refrigerator. And for a lot of families, that's a hard thing to come back from."
"We send people to go help our neighbors like in Houston because one day we're going to need help and Houston is going to come to our aid," ATCEMS Division Chief Paul Mallon said.
