Notes
The Salvation Army is sending its largest mobile kitchens to San Diego's most impoverished area where hundreds of residents lost homes in the wildfires. The Army's "canteens" or mobile feeding units are geared up to help an anticipated 200 people offered shelter in a tent city set up by State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth. The tent city is at the intersection of the Highway 94 and Barrett Lake Road and will include bathroom facilities, showers and generators.
Key to this operation will be the Army's newest 30' Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) mobile kitchen, capable of serving up to 3,000 meals and snacks a day and brewing 27 gallons of coffee per hour. This canteen and its team of four arrived from Las Vegas, Nevada several days ago for its first use at a disaster.
