Volunteers Deliver Blessings and Hope as Wildfires Burn in Texas Panhandle

The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services teams have continued to serve in the Texas panhandle as firefighters work to contain the wildfires that have ravaged the area. As residents return, many to homes that are completely lost, trained Emotional and Spiritual Care workers are on hand to encourage, pray and listen to those devastated by the tragic situation.

 

More than 400 homes and businesses have been destroyed by the fires, and residents are just beginning the physically and emotionally challenging task of inspecting their properties and seeking resources to support the lengthy process of recovery. The Salvation Army of Borger participated in the first Multi-Agency Resource Center on Friday, March 8th, providing emergency assistance, food boxes and gift cards.

 

The emotional and spiritual care team are praying with those seeking support at the resource center where survivors can receive practical and financial assistance from The Salvation Army, the American Red Cross, and Texas Baptist Men, as well as assistance with lost legal documents, income tax forms, tetanus shots and more.
