Gulf Coast Salvation Army sending supplies to Texas
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - The Gulf Coast Salvation Army is sending its Emergency Disaster Services team to Houston, Texas, on Wednesday to bring supplies to those in need.
The team will bring cleanup kits and bottled water to communities impacted by Hurricane Beryl.
Morgan Shiyou with The Salvation Army said she can always count on South Mississippians to help.
“The Salvation Army has helped so many people in need across the Mississippi Gulf Coast that when we ask for help for other areas, people jump at that response, and it’s amazing to see how much the community cares and comes together to support other areas that are hurting,” Shiyou said.
People on the coast are invited to donate water and cleaning supplies. You can drop off items at 575 Division Street, Biloxi.
The team is not collecting food donations. Instead, monetary donations for food and other essential supplies are requested and will be used for on-site purchases.
You can donate directly to disaster relief efforts in Texas here.
