As Guam and the region continue to recover from Super Typhoon Sinlaku—relief efforts are ramping up—with the Salvation Army stepping in to help feed families who need it most.

In the aftermath of devastation—when homes are damaged, power is out, and communities are left picking up the pieces—a hot meal can mean more than just food. It’s comfort. It’s care. And for many families across Guam and the region—it’s a reminder they are not alone.

The Salvation Army has activated its emergency disaster services—launching a mass feeding response across the Marianas and Micronesia. Working alongside the American Red Cross—which is managing shelters—the Salvation Army is focused on one mission: making sure no one goes hungry.

Volunteers are now being called on to step up—helping pick up food, prepare meals, and distribute them to shelters—serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner—seven days a week.

On Friday, April 17 alone—the organization served 275 meals to displaced families across three emergency shelters on Guam.

In Chuuk—teams provided 128 meals and water at the Salvation Army Corps—and another 75 meals to families sheltering at Chuuk High School.

And in Saipan—despite fuel shortages, power outages, and minor storm damage—the soup kitchen is preparing to reopen—ready to serve those still in need.

Across the islands—the hardest-hit communities are those along the coast—where storm surge destroyed homes—and in low-lying areas where flooding and poor drainage left streets underwater.

Strong winds and saturated ground also toppled trees and power lines—adding to the challenges families now face.

But through it all—the Salvation Army—along with government and community partners—continues to show up—ensuring help reaches those who need it most.

And as recovery continues—the need for support is only growing—not just for today’s meals—but for the long road ahead.

If you’d like to volunteer or support relief efforts—the Salvation Army says now is the time to step in and help your community heal.
