The Mountain Home Salvation Army is busy serving those affected by the effects of Hurricane Laura. Maj. John Robbins, Mountain Home Corps officer, has been deployed to support the Incident Command Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Maj. Robbins is serving as the safety officer for The Salvation Army’s ongoing disaster response operations.
The Arkansas-Oklahoma Division is also deploying personnel from Hot Springs and Little Rock, as well as Enid, Oklahoma City and Shawnee, Oklahoma, to support the ongoing disaster response efforts for those affected by Hurricane Laura.The Salvation Army is at work in many communities that found themselves in the path of the storm. Water, food and shelter supplies have been staged and are being transported to the affected areas.
People may support the relief effort in a number of ways.
A cash donation allows charitable relief agencies to use monetary contributions to purchase exactly what disaster survivors need. Monetary contributions are also easy to get to the disaster area. Supplies can almost always be purchased locally at the disaster site and provide savings in multiple ways. Money used to purchase needed items locally can support local and state economies, helping local businesses and workers, which have suffered losses in the wake of the disaster event.
Donations may be made online, via mail, or by phone.
