The Salvation Army of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi is continuing relief efforts in the areas surrounding Selma, Alabama after devastating tornadoes hit on January 12th. The Salvation Army partnered with Flint Hill Church to serve meals from the church parking lot and through roving vehicles branching out into harder-hit areas.

Pastor John Hill opened his church as a location for first responders, linemen, and survivors of the storm to sit down and have a hot meal.

“There is no way to prepare for that moment when you drive into an area affected by a strong tornado,” said Salvation Army team member, Cindy Smith. “To see and talk with people sorting through rubble to salvage anything they can…it just reminds us why we are here.”

The Salvation Army will continue to assess areas of need and respond in the aftermath of the storms.
