The Salvation Army Activates Comprehensive Response in Wake of Hurricane Ian
Upon its arrival to the United States, Ian was a Category 4 hurricane, just short of a Category 5.
The Salvation Army meticulously planned its response, staging canteens and other equipment for immediate dispersal after the storm exited the affected areas.
But The Salvation Army couldn’t serve at maximum capacity without the generous assistance of its partners.
The Walmart Foundation committed $150,000 dedicated to Hurricane Ian relief in support of feeding and hydration efforts. Polaris offroad vehicles were to used to distribute food.
As well as Mercy Chefs, PepsiCo, Midwest Food Bank, UPS, FedEx and Delta Airlines which have all been crucial in The Salvation Army’s response.
Through October 24th, The Salvation Army served over 360,000 meals, drinks and snacks and provided emotional and spiritual care to over 60,000 people. To support The Salvation Army’s continued response, visit help.salvationarmy.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.
