Staff and volunteers from The Salvation Army joined community partners to dedicate two rebuilt homes in Port Isabel that were previously destroyed by a tornado.
Homes and businesses in Cameron County, in South Texas, experienced considerable damage when a powerful storm struck in May of 2023.
Working closely with other community partners, The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services team coordinated the construction of the homes. Funds were secured from the county and The Salvation Army in order to rebuild two houses and complete significant repairs to seven additional homes.
Volunteers from the Port Isabel Service Unit were among the first to respond to the immediate impact of the tornado. They worked tirelessly to coordinate meals and emergency assistance for several days, and later helped secure and finance hotel rooms for 22 families displaced by the storm.
