The Salvation Army continued providing meals, water, and emotional and spiritual care today to residents in Florida\u2019s big bend. Most residents still do not have power or access to necessities. Some don\u2019t even have a roof over their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than one family in line told Salvation Army teams about trees that had fallen through rooves. Many were planning to sleep in their car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t eaten since yesterday. This is such a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m still in a FEMA trailer. I feel like I was just in this line. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been worse than this. We will be okay. We are just grateful to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The overwhelming refrain in the community continues to be exhaustion mixed with a form of resilience. People are tired, verging on the point of exhaustion, but banding together to take care of each other. Countless cars asked for meals for their neighbors who didn\u2019t have transportation. The stories of communities working together amidst horrific stories serve as a reminder that hope remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Salvation Army stands firm in its commitment to be a beacon of that hope. William Booth once said, \u201cThe Salvation Army is a place of hope. When every other light is extinguished, and every other star has gone down, this one gleam shines steadily and clearly out in the darkened sky: \u2018If I could only get to The Salvation Army, they will do something for me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
