SALVATION
ARMY:
When emergencies occur and disaster strikes, whether internationally,
nationally or locally, The Salvation Army goes into action! In the
wake of
what is being called one of the worst natural disasters in the history
of
the United States, The Salvation Army has launched one of the largest
emergency disaster services relief efforts in our organization's
history.
And, frankly,
Currently,
The Salvation Army is providing relief to residents and first
responders in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, New Orleans, Louisiana and
Mobile,
Alabama. Additional Salvation Army mobile food units, called canteens,
are
staged in surrounding areas and are, and have been, prepared to
be deployed
to other affected areas once emergency personnel determine it is
safe.
More
than 250 Salvation Army Officers and volunteers are providing aid
from
these canteens, which, today, number 100 with more planned to be
deployed from
Salvation Army offices throughout the nation. Additionally, The
Salvation
Army has staged its two 54-foot mobile kitchens in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana
and Mobile, Alabama. At present, The Salvation Army is serving 5,000
meals
per day from its canteens and 20,000 meals per day from its mobile
kitchens.
However, The Salvation Army is prepared to serve 500,000 meals
per day.
