LAFAYETTE, LA – The Salvation Army is winding up its disaster services in the Acadiana area of South Louisiana. Over 99% of the power has been restored in this area and most of the residents are returning to normal activities. With the support of nine Mobile Feeding Units from across the Southeast, approximately 20,000 meals have been provided, 11,000 drinks and 14,000 snacks. There have been over 3,000 personal encounters in which emotional and spiritual care have been provided. The Salvation Army is grateful to local officials who were a valuable resource in providing information about the worst hit areas in most need of food. The strength of this operation is the mobility of the Feeding Units in their ability to get out into the communities to provide hot meals and snacks.
