At the request of Border Patrol and several other public agencies, The Salvation Army is working closely with a number of VOAD partners (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster) to ensure that humanitarian needs are being addressed for families and individuals who have been processed and are awaiting transportation to their various destinations. Food, clean clothing, hygiene products, showers, and other services are being made available in the towns of Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, Laredo and El Paso, communities where The Salvation Army has historically served for decades.

It is estimated that up to 500 individuals are being served daily with the greatest concentration being in McAllen, Laredo and El Paso.

"The Salvation Army is working with both government and partner agencies to provide emergency support, basic necessities, and relief in South West Texas to immigrant children and families," said Major Richard McConniel, Divisional Secretary of The Salvation Army, Texas Division. "All around the world people come to The Salvation Army at their times of greatest need for help. The dynamic crisis along our country's border is yet another call for our staff and volunteers to live out our mission, to meet human needs in the name of Christ without discrimination."
