The Salvation Army is currently providing disaster relief at the following locations:
 

Denver

A Salvation Army volunteer providing disaster relief support to an Estes Park shelter recently reached out to update disaster personnel on the state of volunteers and evacuees who have been cut off from communication since early this morning.

Salvation Army volunteer Wayne Anderson has been stationed at Mountain View Bible Fellowship in Estes Park unable to communicate the shelters needs until 4:29PM (MST) when an email arrived that sent a wave of relief over Salvation Army personnel trying to reach the area.

Anderson confirmed that evacuees at the isolated shelter were doing fine and that volunteers have been able to meet the needs of most.
