Two days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida, families across the panhandle continue to face challenging conditions.
Many remain without electricity, and residents are struggling with large, fallen trees and heavy debris on their property. But even amid these hardships, families have expressed heartfelt gratitude for The Salvation Army’s continued presence, care and practical assistance.
With services now spread across five counties, The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services teams are delivering meals, hydration, supplies, and emotional and spiritual care, supported by 14,400 shelf-stable meal kits, bottled water, field kitchens, mobile feeding units and community partners. With approximately 320,000 households still without power as of October 11, the need for coordinated support remains significant.
We pray every impacted family will find safety, strength, comfort and restored hope in the days ahead. We are deeply grateful for the first responders, volunteers, partner organizations, local officials and generous supporters serving their neighbors with compassion. Together, their faithful efforts are helping these communities move toward a hastened recovery, one family at a time.
For those willing to send assistance, financial contributions help The Salvation Army respond to immediate needs and support disaster recovery.
