The Salvation Army of North Texas Deploys Relief Efforts Following Severe Tornado Damage
In the wake of the powerful storms and tornadoes that have severely impacted Denton, Collin, and Cooke counties, The Salvation Army of North Texas, in collaboration with The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Service (EDS) team, has mobilized three mobile kitchens from Lewisville, Fort Worth, and Sherman and a Rapid Response Unit from Irving to provide critical support to the affected communities.
"In times of crisis, The Salvation Army stands ready to serve and support our communities," said Major Dwayne Durham, The Salvation Army incident commander. "Our mobile kitchens are equipped to provide not just physical nourishment but also emotional and spiritual care to help survivors rebuild their lives. We are deeply committed to walking alongside our neighbors in Denton, Collin, and Cooke Counties during this recovery process. No matter what’s needed, The Salvation Army is ready to help."
The Salvation Army has established a presence in several areas affected by the storm, including Lake Ray Roberts Marina, Celina, and Valley View. Each unit is equipped to deliver vital necessities such as food, water, and basic comforts directly to first responders and those in need within devastated areas. Trained personnel are also on hand to offer emotional and spiritual assistance, ensuring that survivors receive essential resources and comfort during this challenging time.
When disaster strikes, The Salvation Army disaster personnel collaborate with federal, state, and local emergency management agencies and other social services organizations in both locations to monitor ongoing impacts and adapt response efforts as necessary.
