The Salvation Army will be having its last day of mass feeding today.<\/p>\n
The organization has been providing meals to the public since the week Typhoon Soudelor hit Saipan on Aug. 2.<\/p>\n
Last Wednesday, the Salvation Army and the feeding center near Kagman market being organized by Church 360, Kagman Community Church, and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief hit a milestone, having served a total of 40,000 meals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually held it open longer than what was actually needed,\u201d said Salvation Army pastor Wayne Gillespie.<\/p>\n
The Kagman feeding center will continue with their mass feeding until Sept. 10 from 12pm to 3pm, according to Joy Jones.<\/p>\n
Gillespie said Salvation Army will return to their normal soup kitchen operations next week Friday, Sept. 11.<\/p>\n
Gillespie added that they will be going out to do field work now \u201cto do assessments, to visit people who did not qualify for assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aside from needs assessment, the Salvation Army will also do case work and spiritual counseling.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that we\u2019ll be transitioning into long-term recovery which is unmet needs,\u201d Gillespie said.<\/p>\n
