Mayfield, KY <\/strong>— The Salvation Army has boots on the ground in Kentucky in response to the December 10, 2021 tornadoes that beelined through the western part of the state.\u00a0Salvation Army officers, employees, and volunteers have been working to help heal communities and provide for their basic needs since the morning after the storm passed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the town of Mayfield, Kentucky, The Salvation Army held a large two-day drive-thru distribution event for people impacted by the storms, giving out toys, gift cards, hygiene kits, and more than 1,000 food boxes. Cars were lined up for blocks and ensuring the line workers had enough product to serve was less of a challenge, thanks to Polaris ATVs donated to The Salvation Army by Polaris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe power is back on and a lot of people are back in their houses. But now they need the tools that will help them begin to rebuild \u2013 gift cards, pantry food, and household goods,\u201d explained Jimmy Stanford, the Operations Chief for The Salvation Army\u2019s western Kentucky response. \u201cThe Polaris ATV made the day run smoothly for those who matter the most \u2013 the people we are serving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polaris ATVs are a vital tool in disaster relief. Often disaster relief teams encounter downed power lines and trees, storm debris blocking access streets and neighborhoods, and damaged vehicles, making it impossible to deliver food, water, and supplies to households \u2013 sometimes for days at a time.  The Polaris ATVs enable Salvation Army teams to get beyond the barriers to serve. \u201cWe tell people if you can\u2019t get to us, we can get to you,\u201d says Jimmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Polaris has been a generous corporate partner with The Salvation Army, donating ATVs and generators to The Salvation Army\u2019s Disaster Relief Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartners like Polaris help us provide practical support in all stages of disaster relief, making a difference in the lives of those we serve,\u201d said Bo Sells, Emergency Disaster Services Director for The Salvation Army of Kentucky and Tennessee. “We are grateful for their continued support of The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help now by donating online at www.HelpSalvationArmy.org<\/a> or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY and designating \u201cKY Tornado Relief\u201d with your gift.  Monetary donations will ensure The Salvation Army can meet the immediate needs of people impacted. The Salvation Army uses 100% of all disaster donations to support disaster relief.<\/p>\n
