Last week, Hurricane Nicholas slowly moved through Southeast Texas, bringing with it heavy rainfall and isolated wind damage. The Salvation Army continues to assess and monitor the impact of the storm throughout the area, with two units actively serving. 

The Salvation Army received a request on Monday evening from the City of Freeport to establish a shelter at the local Recreation Center.

The local Salvation Army worked with the City of Freeport to set up the shelter on Monday night as the storm approached and they woke up Tuesday morning to significant wind damage and much of Brazoria County without power.

On Tuesday, the team worked to delivered water and hot meals to some of the hardest hit areas in the community. The Salvation Army wants to assure those affected that they will do all they can to help.

Feeding operations have been established in Bay City, Texas with additional mobile feeding units remaining on standby as localized service continues. In Freeport, The Salvation Army served 383 meals, 510 drinks, and 245 snacks on Tuesday alone.
