The Salvation Army is issuing a plea for donations to support its relief efforts in the wake of the recent St. Louis storms. More than 12,000 St. Louisians have been helped with shelter, meals, food and water distribution.
The Salvation Army will provide relief as long as they are needed.
Recognizing that many low-income families and food pantries lost food supplies to spoilage, the Salvation Army purchased more than 35,000 hot, nutritious meals per day, distributing them at fixed sites beginning at lunchtime. Meals were prepared by volunteers from the Southern Baptist Mission Board.
To make a donation or for information on volunteering, call (314) 646-3001 or visit www. salvationarmystlouis.org.
