We combat natural disasters with acts of God
Disasters of incredible magnitude call for people of incredible generosity.
How we help disaster survivors
The Salvation Army in Sawyer County is home to an Emergency Disaster Services canteen. The truck is equipped with a basic kitchen and serving area to provide food in emergency situations. Some of those situations include fires, search and rescue, tornadoes and any event that would need short or long-term food service. The Salvation Army also provides spiritual and emotional care for these emergencies.
History
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.Since then, The Salvation Army has responded to numerous natural disasters, transportation accidents, civil unrest situations and terrorist attacks.By providing beverages, 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.
