The Salvation Army continues flood relief efforts in Kentucky

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Salvation Army announced it was continuing flood relief efforts in Kentucky.

The Salvation Army says it has been actively providing relief to impacted communities across the state. With some areas receiving upwards of eight inches of rain in just 24 hours, flooding was widespread, particularly in eastern Kentucky.

The Salvation Army says it mobilized to assist in multiple affected areas, including Woodford, Perry, Floyd, Knott, Leslie and Pike counties. To date, The Salvation Army has served over 2,000 hot meals to flood survivors and first responders, distributed nearly 1,000 personal hygiene kits and provided more than 250 cleanup kits to aid in recovery efforts. In addition to meeting physical needs, The Salvation Army has offered emotional and spiritual support to 125 survivors.

According to The Salvation Army, on Sunday, Service Unit Chairperson Missy Miller, along with volunteers Jimmy and Judy Keen, delivered 100 meals and 42 cleanup kits to the ARH Disaster Relief Center, located in an old JCPenney building in Hazard. They also provided assistance in the Airport Gardens neighborhood of Hazard. Phyllis Griffie, Onsite Supervisor at the ARH Disaster Relief Center, shared that the center has served nearly 200 families in just two days.

The Salvation Army says this ongoing relief effort is made possible by the generosity of donors. Contributions can either be made online or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY. 100% of disaster donations go directly toward relief efforts.
