The powerful storm caused significant flooding and left more than two million households without power, many for more than a week.<\/p>\n<p>Valero volunteers working alongside Salvation Army staff distributed 950 meals, 1,130 drinks, 930 snacks, 386 cleanup kits, and 80 food boxes to affected residents from the community near the Valero Houston Refinery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support of valued partners like Valero is crucial to the success of The Salvation Army\u2019s disaster relief efforts, particularly in large-scale feeding operations as we have seen after Hurricane Beryl,\u201d said Alvin Migues, Emergency Disaster Services Director for The Salvation Army in Texas. \u201cTheir financial contribution, and volunteerism made it possible for us to provide food boxes, cleanup kits, and more than 90,000 hot meals to Houston residents impacted by the storm and resulting power outages. Thank you, Valero, for your continued support of The Salvation Army and making a difference in communities across Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Salvation Army demobilized feeding operations on Sunday, July 21, after 13 days of service to those impacted by loss of power and flooding in and around Houston. More than twenty mobile feeding units deployed to the area to support the effort and several mass supply distributions took place in communities&nbsp;collaborating with local school districts and apartment complexes. A total of 97,391 meals, 76,021 drinks, 12,877 snacks, 6,169 cases of water, 3,491 food boxes were provided by Salvation Army teams who made 11,642 Emotional and Spiritual Care contacts since service began on Tuesday, July 9 in affected communities.<\/p>\n<p>For Houston residents in need of additional assistance, please contact your local Salvation Army or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest information please go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.disaster.salvationarmy.org\">www.disaster.salvationarmy.org<\/a> and watch for regular updates on our social media pages at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/salvationarmytexas\/\">www.facebook.com\/salvationarmytexas\/<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/salarmytx\">www.twitter.com\/salarmytx<\/a>.
