BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Salvation Army of Bloomington is actively monitoring the impact of Thursday night’s tornadoes and is in communication with key community stakeholders as damage assessments continue across the region.

Currently, The Salvation Army is working to determine the level of response necessary as more information becomes available. A mobile feeding kitchen has been placed on standby, and trained disaster volunteers are prepared to respond should they be needed in the coming hours or days.

"The Salvation Army of Bloomington is here before, during, and after the storm," said Captain Vinal Lee, corps officer for The Salvation Army of Bloomington. "We remain committed to walking alongside our neighbors throughout the entire recovery process — not just in the immediate aftermath, but in the long journey of helping our community rebuild."

As assessments continue, local emergency management, first responders, and partner agencies will coordinate to ensure that services are provided where they are most needed. Updates will be shared as response efforts are activated.

Residents are encouraged to prioritize safety and to follow guidance from local authorities. Those wishing to support disaster relief efforts are asked to monitor official Salvation Army communications for future needs.
