The Salvation Army's Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi Division continues to respond to multiple tornado touchdowns across Mississippi and Alabama.  Feeding, Hydration, and Emotional and Spiritual Support are being provided to communities devastated by Saturday's storms. The Salvation Army has mobile feeding units in Yazoo City, Mississippi, Attala County, Mississippi, Albertville, Alabama, and Fort Payne, Alabama.

On Saturday, Salvation Army Disaster response teams served over 830 hot meals and 450 snacks to residents and first responders in Mississippi.

The Salvation Army asks people who want to help those affected by the deadly tornadoes in Mississippi to visit www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY. Monetary donations are needed to meet survivors' most immediate needs.  A $100 donation will feed a family of four for two days, provide two cases of drinking water and one household cleanup kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets and cleaning supplies.  The Salvation Army is currently not accepting donations of clothing and furniture for storm victims, please forward these donations to The Salvation Army Family Store nearest you.
