Salvation Army Ramping Up Disaster-Relief Operation in Northwest Iowa
The Salvation Army Western Division is responding to widespread flooding in Northwest Iowa.
A Salvation Army disaster-relief team from Western Divisional headquarters in Omaha arrived in Rock Valley, Iowa, to survey the damage and create a plan to provide support to those impacted by the flooding.
On Monday June 24th Salvation Army disaster-relief teams began serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Rock Valley – daily – to flood-impacted individuals and families, as well as first responders and cleanup crews. The Salvation Army has been serving hundreds of meals per day– and meal service will continue for as long as there is a need.
The Salvation Army has also distributed flood-cleanup kits for distribution in affected communities.
The Salvation Army will continue to assess community needs throughout northwest Iowa as its initial disaster-relief response unfolds.
