Bass Pro Shops, which has seven stores in Texas, is also helping employees affected by the storm with the Bass Pro Care Fund, which "provides support for critical living expenses in times of devastating need."
The boat help comes at a critical moment. Fox Business reported that 3,000 people have already been rescued, and residents with boats have been recruited to help.
