We’ve all seen what happens when drought, wildfires, flash-flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and blizzards arrive.
That’s why, in The Salvation Army,
there’s no such thing as no place to go.
And while every natural disaster is unique and creates its own special needs, the heart of The Salvation Army’s disaster response is to meet the immediate needs of a survivor and the emergency responders there to help, including:
Every step of the way, The Salvation Army offers emotional and spiritual care upon request to victims and emergency responders.
Many times, those in Salvation Army uniform are asked for prayer in the midst of a tragedy. It’s this
“ministry of presence” The Salvation Army considers one of its highest honors.
As the only provider of social services in every U.S. zip code, The Salvation
Army uniquely understands that disaster can strike anywhere.
Every year, some 90 million people are affected by natural disasters.
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 extremely difficult situations.
Your gift of $10 will help The Salvation Army
feed a disaster survivor for a day.
When the need for disaster relief hits,
The Salvation Army is there to serve.
When things are uncertain.
When someone needs a bowl of soup.
When the earth
quakes.

“I learned a great deal [volunteering after a tornado]—that people don’t play victim when they’re in a disaster situation. They’ve lost family members, they need assistance, but they would come in wanting to know how they could help their neighbor. They were devastated but wanting to help. I was so humbled by that.”
– Catherine Atiyeh-Mitchell, Volunteer and Advisory Board Member, Portland, Oregon
