To date, The Salvation Army has deployed 92 mobile feeding units (canteens) to impacted areas in the state of Texas from across the country. Joining them are Salvation Army trained disaster workers from across the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the greater Victoria area, The Salvation Army is currently providing feeding, hydration and emotional and spiritual care at various sites in Victoria, Colhoun, Refugio, and Goliad counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Salvation Army has a standing fleet of canteens designed for rapid and free-standing response in times of emergency. \u201cTen Salvation Army canteens from Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma are specifically deployed to serve Victoria and surrounding areas,\u201d said Captain Chris Powell, The Salvation Army Incident Management Team Director serving the Victoria area. \u201cThe canteens are stocked twice a day with food and drinks ready to serve affected areas. They have the ability to respond quickly to changing conditions to serve those in need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date The Salvation Army has served approximately 4,000 meals and snacks, and 8,000 drinks a day in the greater Victoria area. Response to The Salvation Army\u2019s presence has been extremely positive and appreciative. \u201cMy house is destroyed and I would not have eaten today if you had not been here,\u201d said a woman from Port Lavaca, \u201cThank you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Salvation Army has been on the ground helping residents get back on their feet so they can start to rebuild,\u201d said Lieutenant Jeremy Mockabee, Operations Chief for The Salvation Army\u2019s Victoria Incident Management Team. \u201cThe Salvation Army is here standing strong for the local community, ready to respond aggressively and serve compassionately as long as we are needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How People Can Help<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to help after a disaster is to make a financial donation. Monetary contributions also support local economies and ensure that businesses can operate when relief supplies diminish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Online<\/strong>:&nbsp;helpsalvationarmy.org&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Donate by Phone:&nbsp;<\/strong>1-800-SAL-ARMY&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mail Checks to<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Salvation Army&nbsp;PO Box 1959&nbsp;Atlanta, GA 30301 &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Please designate \u201cHurricane Harvey\u201d on all checks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Text to Give:<\/strong> STORM to 51555<\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-11983\">Don Felice<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria, Texas \u2013 In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, The Salvation Army is supporting one of the largest disaster relief operations in its history.
