Disaster Relief
Boyertown Corps Disaster Relief Information
When disaster strikes, The Salvation Army is prepared to provide immediate relief and long-term recovery support. Our dedicated team responds quickly to disasters, providing essential supplies, food, and spiritual and emotional care to those in need. We work tirelessly to meet the immediate needs of survivors and offer hope and support during a time of crisis.
Our local Boyertown Emergency Disaster Services team provides the following services:
- Immediate Emergency Response: We respond to fires, floods, and other emergencies in Boyertown and surrounding counties immediately. These immediate response activities include hot meals and hydration services, shelter, and emotional care.
- Meal Services: No one should have to worry about how they will get their next meal in the wake of a disaster. Our mobile kitchens, or "canteens," travel to disaster sites to provie hot meals, water, and snacks to survivors and first responders.
- Spiritual and Emotional Care: In the aftermath of a major disaster, The Salvation Army provides spiritual comfort and emotional care upon request to victims and emergency workers coping with the stress of a catastrophe. Salvation Army counselors, often our ordained pastors, offer a "ministry of presence" where they are available to provide support.
Across Berks County, The Salvation Army is there to lend a hand.
When disaster strikes in our region, we create and execute a comprehensive emergency response plan. As one of the most well-known disaster relief organizations in the country, The Salvation Army is ready with immediate response and recovery plans unique to the community affected. We’re among the first on the scene, and we stay long after a catastrophe has passed.
Help us stay prepared for anything
While donations during a disaster are crucial to help survivors, we rely on gifts year-round to sustain our efforts. Becoming a monthly donor ensures that we are able to provide the necessary supplies and emotional care to those who may have lost everything.
