The Salvation Army now feeding evacuees in Deschutes County

HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Since Monday, Sept. 6, The Salvation Army has provided more than 11,000 meals for evacuees across 10 counties in Oregon.

Starting Tuesday afternoon, The Salvation Army is serving meals to evacuees in Deschutes County.
