“We’ll go back to the warehouse, and someone will call and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got three hundred more meals here!’ It’s hot food, and we can’t let it go to waste,” Rogers explained. “Today we’re at the last drop of water. But other than that, keep it going. Take it day by day.” Trae and Rogers had been planning to take some time off after Christmas last year to rest and recuperate. I reminded Trae of this as I struggled to keep up with him, holding free meals in one hand and a notepad in the other. But Trae just said he doesn’t rest. When the systems that are supposed to keep Houstonians safe break down, citizens know from experience who will show up. It’s as predictable as hurricane season.

The Relief Gang was born out of frustration. During Hurricane Harvey, after being rescued himself, Trae hooked up with some friends who’d brought a boat to the National Guard checkpoint, where other rescuers were organizing and dispatching boats. “But the thing was, they were just kind of taking a while to send them out,” he said, “and our mind frame is, in the hours and time that it takes them, we can just do our own thing.” So Trae and his crew moved through neighborhoods, sometimes partnering up with other rescue groups and sometimes going solo, hopping from boats to front doors, picking up stranded residents (including, at one point, NBA star Jonathon Simmons).
“Right now, I’m by Intercontinental,” Trae told me in 2017, on the third day of his Harvey aid efforts. “Yesterday, I was in Kingwood. The day before, I was in Grand Mission, on Westpark Tollway. I was in Dickinson last night. In Galveston yesterday.” He continued, “My mother’s in Beaumont. Port Arthur and Beaumont were hit real bad, so I’m gonna be trying to find ways to get boats there ’cause I gotta get to them.”
Trae worked his way east, where he connected with DJ Mr. Rogers. A few days before, Rogers had walked out of his house in Pearland to see that the water had barely missed him. He’d posted an offer on Twitter: “Anybody displaced from the flood that’s in the Pearland area and is [in] need of a hotel room and/or food tonight hit me and I’ll take care of it.” He’d started making Costco runs to get supplies into flooded areas. Following the catastrophe in Port Arthur, where thousands of homes had been destroyed, Rogers and Trae decided to pair up: the genesis of the Relief Gang.
