The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services personnel from Keokuk, Iowa are working to support area residents affected by recent severe storms.

A straight-line wind storm swept across southern Iowa, northern Missouri, and western Illinois around midday on June 29th—knocking out power, downing trees, and damaging buildings in its path. Two Lee County, Iowa, communities, Keokuk and Montrose, were both affected by the storms.

Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services personnel from Keokuk sprang into action—assisting residents displaced from their homes.

They took meals to a shelter in nearby Montrose, feeding dozens of individuals there, and also provided bottled water at a shelter in Keokuk.

The Salvation Army’s teams are prepared to keep serving for as long as needed.
