The Salvation Army deployed eleven canteens (mobile kitchens) within the Golden Triangle region to serve those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The Salvation Army in Orange is located at 1950 MLK Jr Drive and is providing our residents with hot, nutritious meals and supplies needed to continue their recovery efforts. Yesterday the Salvation Army provided residents in the Vidor area with 1,003 hot meals through the mobile cantina and 1,095 meals at the Orange location.
Volunteers are needed Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to unload and sort supplies, prepare meals, and assist in distributing the supplies and meals.
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. 82 cents of every dollar spent is used to carry out those services in 5,000 communities nationwide.
