The Salvation Army Provides Flood Assistance in St. Louis Region

With the hardest flash flooding rainfall in more than a century, the Salvation Army’s Midland Division leapt to emergency disaster service last week when St. Louisans found themselves displaced or stranded because of the extreme weather.

Flood recovery supplies were donated to and distributed at the Saint Ann Community Center, at 1 Community Center Drive in Saint Ann. They’re available for people affected by the flash flooding.

Supplies for pick up available included water, blankets, and a well-appointed flood kit, the latter of which had N95 masks, latex gloves, mops, sponges, disinfectant, and more.

July 26, 2022, was the wettest day in St. Louis’ recorded history, going back to the mid-1800s.

One fatality was reported. Widespread property damage came from apartments and houses throughout most areas of the region.
