Salvation Army Helps Out in Flood-Hit Regions

The Salvation Army in Yorkshire has been busy over the past few days assisting the relief effort as the region is hit by severe flooding.

Corps (Churches) in Filey, Hull, Doncaster and Dinnington, have been busy helping the local authorities and emergency services provide shelter, blankets, bedding, clothes, food, refreshments and spiritual support to many affected residents.

In Filey, North Yorkshire, Majors Paul and Susan Robinson assisted residents who were evacuated from their homes following the discovery of a World War Two bomb washed up due to the heavy flood waters.
