But today the family of four needed a break from cooking on their propane stove and\u00a0decided\u00a0to stop by one of the more than 24 canteens (mobile feeding units) serving the Panama City area.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were driving by and thought it might be nice to not have to cook at least one meal,\u201d says Lindsey Wallace. \u201cWe appreciate The Salvation Army more than anything, just to help lift the burden off our shoulders even just a little bit. We\u2019re very thankful.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lindsey says she and her husband Chad decided to ride out Hurricane Michael with their two children in their Lynn Haven home, a home they built together, filled with too many memories to walk away from. \u201cWe really didn\u2019t think the storm would be that bad and if we did sustain damage, I wanted to be here in case something bad happened,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wallace\u2019s fared better than most of their neighbors; many who lost nearly everything. But through it all, she says, the family managed to make it to the other side of the storm unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOther than a little crying during the storm and fear about what was happening outside, my kids were remarkably strong,\u201d says Lindsey. Her husband Chad agreed, saying his only regret was not sending his wife and children out of harm\u2019s way. However, he says Hurricane Michael is teaching his children a very valuable lesson, one that they can\u2019t learn from a book even though he and his wife are teachers. \u201cThis really isn\u2019t a lesson about survival; rather it\u2019s a lesson about kindness and about how important it is to help each other in times of tragedy, exactly what The Salvation Army is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-12515\">The Salvation Army<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lynn Haven, FL &#8211;\u00a0The Wallace family had never asked for a meal from The Salvation Army before, not even during previous hurricanes.
