The situation:
Hurricane Idalia, the first major hurricane to make landfall in the United States this year, caused life-threatening storm surge, flooding and winds in southwestern Florida. It continues to bring strong winds and rain as it moves through Georgia and South Carolina.
Our response:
Lutheran Disaster Response works with its partners to provide immediate relief, such as water, clothing, gift cards, tarps and other needs. Since many hurricanes also require a long-term response, Lutheran Disaster Response provides support on the long road to recovery with disaster case management, construction management, unmet needs, and emotional and spiritual care.
What you can do:
Pray
Please pray for the communities impacted by hurricanes. May God's healing presence give them peace and hope in their time of need. Pray that God will deliver comfort to those who mourn and strength to those working diligently to rescue survivors.
Give
Your gifts will support hurricane survivors. Gifts to “Hurricane Response" will be used in full (100%) to assist those affected by hurricanes until the response is complete. Or make a general donation to Lutheran Disaster Response so we can respond to disasters whenever and wherever they strike.
