The Salvation Army continues to monitor the devastation following 16 April's deadly shootings on the Virginia Tech campus, where 33 people died.

Salvation Army volunteers from Blacksburg and further afield remain on hand to offer their resources - physical and spiritual - to the victims and support staff who are still reeling from the horrific event.

The Salvation Army has had one canteen on site with two listed as standby. On 16 April, the canteen served 500 meals to law enforcement officers and first responders. The canteen will remain in place over the next few days as it continues to feed law enforcement and first responders, with the addition of any families of students harmed or unharmed who come to the campus.
