Los Angeles Comes Together to Support Texas Flood Victims

In response to the devastating flooding in Texas, Norm Langer, owner of Los Angeles’ iconic Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant, is calling on Angelenos to join him in a day of action and giving.

On Saturday, July 12, Langer’s will host “Help Texas Day,” a one-day, community-wide event to raise support for families affected by the tragedy. Donations collected will benefit the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country — a trusted nonprofit already providing relief on the ground.

“As a parent and grandparent, my heart is broken,” said Langer. “I’ve spoken with staff and customers all week — everyone wants to help but doesn’t know how. This is our chance to come together and make a real difference.” Langer’s will make it easy for everyone to participate:

EVENT DETAILS

• WHAT: Help Texas Day – Day of Community Giving
• WHEN: Saturday, July 12, 2025, | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• WHERE: Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant
  704 S. Alvarado St., Los Angeles, CA 90057

Ways to Donate

• Cash donations accepted inside and outside the restaurant
• Touchless giving via QR codes displayed on large posters (for walk-up or drive-by donors)
• Drive-up donations collected curbside in partnership with LAPD Cadets

As a thank-you, all donors — whether they give $1 or $1,000 — will receive a free beverage of their choice (no purchase necessary, dine-in only).

“Langer’s has always stood for community,” said Langer. “We’ve come together after 9/11, during COVID — and now we’re showing up for Texas.”
