About us
The Salvation Army began offering assistance to disaster survivors after a major hurricane hit Galveston, TX in September 1900, destroying the coastal city and killing thousands of people. At the request of The Salvation Army’s National Commander, officers from across the country moved into the Galveston area to help feed and shelter the thousands of survivors, while also providing much needed emotional and spiritual support. Since then, The Salvation Army has responded to numerous natural disasters, transportation accidents, civil unrest situations, and terrorist attacks. By providing beverages, snacks, meals, and emotional and spiritual care to first responders and survivors, The Salvation Army strives to bring hope and healing to people who find themselves in the midst of extremely difficult situations.

While many disasters garner national and even international attention, the greatest effects are felt at a local level. This is one of the reasons The Salvation Army puts a focus on the full life cycle of disaster recovery and not just immediate response. In March of 2023, the town of Rolling Fork, MS saw entire neighborhoods leveled by powerful tornadoes, and recovery is still underway over a year later. A dedicated case manager works with survivors to oversee these projects and guide them through the process of recovery. After more than a year of living apart, Betty and her husband were thrilled to move into their new home and be back together as a family. “We really appreciate what you are doing and have done,” Betty shared. “You are still here, and that means a lot.” Read more: https://loom.ly/E9-XaRg
