Salvation Army's Southern Indiana Response Continues
Lilly Foundation Supports Salvation Army's Service To Survivors
Southern Indiana - One week after an F4 tornado ripped through several communities
in Southern Indiana, the response has shifted from relief to recovery,
clean-up, temporary housing and schools. Many organizations and companies have
sent teams to aid in this process, which some predict will last from 12-24
months. Major John Turner, The Divisional Commander for The Salvation Army
Indiana, visited the Army's operations in Henryville today. Major Turner spoke
with survivors and offered his encouragement to the staff and volunteers who
have worked many hours since the tornado destroyed the area on March 2.
The Salvation Army, with reinforcement from around the state, will
have a presence in these tornado-stricken areas for the long haul. It was
announced today that The Lilly Foundation is generously supporting the Army's
tornado relief work in Southern Indiana with $100,000 and an additional $30,000
towards a much-needed early emergency response vehicle.
