Chattanooga Salvation Army Advisory Board members David Worland and Greg Love, along with Mr. Worland’s wife Sally and Mr. Love’s son Jackson, joined Chattanooga Salvation Army staff and officers in relief efforts in Middle Tennessee.
“My son is on Spring Break, so I thought what better way to spend it than serving,” states Mr. Love. He and his son are serving in Davidson County. The Worlands are serving in Putnam County.
“The Salvation Army in Chattanooga is blessed to have such dedicated Advisory Board members,” states Major Mark Smith, Chattanooga Area Commander. “They are quick to carry out our mission of serving in Christ’s name without discrimination.”
To date, The Salvation Army has provided 1,174 individuals with personal prayer and emotional support. The Salvation Army has served 5,817 hot meals, along with 8,023 snacks and 6,746 beverages.
How neighbors can help:
Financial Contributions are needed and most efficient. A cash donation allows charitable relief agencies to use monetary contributions to purchase exactly what disaster survivors need. Monetary contributions are also easy to get to the disaster area. One hundred percent of a disaster donation to The Salvation Army is used for disaster relief efforts for that event. Supplies can almost always be purchased locally at the disaster site and provide savings in multiple ways. Money used to purchase needed items locally can support local and state economies, helping local businesses and workers, which have suffered losses in the wake of the disaster event.
