The Salvation Army's disaster response activities are supported entirely through the generosity of individual and organizational donations. In the early stages of a disaster such as this, the Army acts first on faith to meet the immediate needs of those affected by the storms and responses in hopes that donations will follow to fund a sustained disaster response and recovery operation. Donations can be made at www.salvationarmyusa.org and by phone at 1-800-SAL-ARMY.

Please note: The Salvation Army is currently unable to accept gifts-in-kind due to logistical challenges of sorting, boxing, palletizing and shipping into a disaster site. At the onset of any disaster, financial donations are key to enabling a fast and targeted emergency response. Financial donations also enable us to bolster the affected community's local economy. |
