Wilmington, NC \u2013<\/strong> Having weathered Hurricane Florence and the flooding that followed, the residents of the Cape Fear region of North Carolina are now heading into the clean-up and recovery phase. The Salvation Army has been with them every step of the way, and will continue to aid in long-term recovery with valuable allies like the staff of New Hanover County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When presented with the opportunity from Little Caesars to have their Love Kitchen come out to serve in Wilmington, The Salvation Army team thought about the partners who have been working alongside them for several weeks to make sure men, women, and children in their community got the resources they needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to care for the Emergency Managers and government staff because they\u2019ve been solely focused on the community\u2019s needs, not necessarily their own selfcare,\u201d says Jessica Geib, Incident Management Team Liaison for The Salvation Army\u2019s Hurricane Florence response in Wilmington. \u201cIf we can provide them a few minutes to reenergize and refocus, they\u2019ll be able to better care for others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Little Caesars Love Kitchen rolled into the parking lot of the New Hanover County Government Center where the Emergency Operations Center for Hurricane Florence had been located due to storm damage to their existing facility. Met with surprised faces, laughter and smiles, The Salvation Army and Little Caesar\u2019s teamed up to serve more than 300 meals and drinks to County staff and emergency responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving The Salvation Army out here partnering with Little Caesars has really been a nice surprise for the County staff,\u201d says Steven Still, New Hanover County Emergency Manager. \u201cMany of our employees have been working 12+ hour days for the past few weeks. We have a long recovery in front of us, and this was just the morale boost we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salvation Army is honored to serve not only those impacted in times of disaster, but those who have dedicated their lives to serving as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of October 1, 2018, The Salvation Army has provided the following in response to Hurricane Florence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
