The Salvation Army Recovery Efforts in Montana

Approximately 115 homes were destroyed or significantly damaged in the historic flooding that took place in Carbon, Park, and Stillwater counties in Montana. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the floods amounted to a one-in-500-year event.

 

Soon after the flooding, The Salvation Army’s corps officers and staff in Red Lodge, Billings and Bozeman deployed to respond to the disaster along with the Intermountain Division EDS team.

 

As of August 8, The Salvation Army had provided over $34,000 in disaster relief services to the community, including 1,506 meals, 706 drinks, 423 snacks and 400 clean-up kits.

They also provided lodging, food boxes, ice, gift cards, cleaning supplies and tools, clean-up, repair, grocery vouchers, and more- along with emotional and spiritual support.
