Faithe Colas, community relations director for The Salvation Army in Milwaukee County has been deployed to represent the Salvation Army nationally in tornado-stricken Joplin, Mo. Colas leaves for Missouri today and will return on Tuesday, June 14. "It is a testament to the outstanding work of Faithe Colas here in Milwaukee that she has been selected to represent the work of The Salvation Army to the nation in such a difficult situation as we find in Joplin,” said Major Robert Thomson, Salvation Army Divisional Commander for Wisocnsin and Upper Michigan. “Her experience with natural disasters here in Wisconsin has prepared her well for this deployment.”
The Salvation Army responded immediately to the disaster relief effort in Joplin by providing canteens, food, beverages, emotional/spiritual care, and other necessities.
