Southern Oklahoma received a significant impact from one of the 25 tornadoes that swept through the state overnight on April 27th. Amidst the chaos and destruction, The Salvation Army quickly responded, arriving that Sunday evening to provide assistance.
Assigned to serve the Marietta Oklahoma area, the Chickasha mobile feeding unit, led by Lt. Bobby McFarland and his team, not only provided food and hydration but also offered hope. Assessing the needs of the community, they encountered a Senior Complex where the storm left a major impact on some of the most vulnerable residents. Many seniors were traumatized by their inability to reach the nearby shelter due to mobility issues, leaving them feeling helpless.
The Salvation Army provided assistance for replacement food to residents of the complex on Thursday morning. One of the residents, named Butch, said “The Salvation Army is Angels on wheels. You are truly a God send.”
