SAN ANTONIO – The Salvation Army of San Antonio announced it deployed crews to the Rio Grande Valley Sunday morning to assist those affected by severe storms.

The organization stated that the two-person crew from the Alamo City and a two-person delegation and mobile feeding unit from New Braunfels could be deployed for up to seven days.

The crews will provide meals to first responders and residents who were displaced by the floods, as well as spiritual care, according to a press release.
