Matt's Building Materials offers flood recovery aid

RIO GRANDE VALLEY, Texas (ValleyCentral) — In efforts to help the community recover from the severe flooding, Matt's Building Materials is offering a Flood Recovery Program for those affected.

In a social media post, Matt's Building Materials stated that they will be lowering prices on flood-affected items such as the following:

• Drywall
• Insulation
• Joint Compound
• Interior Doors
• Exterior Doors
• Moulding & Trim
• Flooring
• Paint & Stains
• Roofing

"We saw the widespread flood damages and we want to help out where we can," Matt's Building Materials said in the post. "In normal times of crisis, you see price gouging, but we are doing the opposite of that."

Residents affected by the weather can apply for the flood recovery program discount cards at any of Matt's Building Materials' four locations, which are in Pharr, San Benito, Palmview and Harlingen.

Those interested in applying need the following credentials:

• A valid photo ID
• Photos of the home
• Utility bill or other document showing you are a resident of the affected home

The family company wants to remind the community that many of the items are at or below its cost and cannot offer this program for everyone, just those who are directly affected.

This program is a pick-up-only offer.
