Houston is set to receive some much-needed aid as The Salvation Army sends its San Antonio squadron to the waterlogged city. Stricken by severe flooding, the Houston area calls for immediate relief efforts, and these volunteers are packing more than just good intentions. They come bearing food and a commitment to serve up sustenance to those hard-hit by the deluge.

Setting off earlier today, the crew intends to stay for approximately a week, according to a report by KSAT. They're not the first responders from the charitable organization; other units have already been doling out meals in Walker County since last Thursday. As floodwaters recede, clearing the path for aid, local authorities have put out the call for more hands on deck, prompting The Salvation Army's higher-ups to deploy additional help.

A specialized Rapid Response Unit from near downtown San Antonio is leading the charge, equipped with essentials to combat the aftermath of the floods. In a statement obtained by KENS 5, the organization's staff and a team of volunteers are gearing up to prepare and serve meals, ensuring both first responders and residents don't fight on empty stomachs.

The extent of the floods in Walker County was nothing short of catastrophic, and The Salvation Army's disaster units were some of the first to respond. Now, with the request for more support, additional units from San Antonio will join the ranks. This outreach has been made possible through the generosity of donors, and anyone looking to contribute to the relief efforts can do so through helpsalvationarmy.org, as mentioned in the KSAT report.
