This involves establishing mobile kitchens, where they can serve about 500-1,500 people a day and provide shelter for residents impacted severely by Hurricane Ian."One of the major advantages of The Salvation Army’s structure is that we are able to mobilize resources and people very quickly in times of disaster to provide practical help and support where needed," Alvin Migues, EDS Director for The Salvation Army in Texas said in a statement.
