Bismarck Salvation Army Responds to Floods
Rising waters within four blocks of Salvation Army facility
BISMARCK, N.D. – March 25, 2009 – The Bismarck Salvation Army is providing food, hydration, emotional/spiritual care, and cleanup kits to community members affected by area flooding.
Salvation Army staff and volunteers are serving at an Evangelical church on the north side of town, and at two sandbagging sites: the city landfill and Civic Center. Some of the people being served are from a mobile home community where hundreds of households were evacuated.
“Flood waters have risen to within a few blocks of our facility,” said Major Lee Morrison, administrator of the Bismarck Salvation Army. “We are holding our breath.”
Morrison has requested 300 cleanup kits for area residents.
Donations to the Bismarck Salvation Army can be made by calling 800-SAL-ARMY or online by clicking below.
