Hurricane Dorian has hit the Bahamas with devastating force, leading to major damage and a growing number of reported deaths. The storm is now moving along the southeastern coast of the United States, threatening our neighbors with dangerous winds and life-threatening storm surge. Lutheran Disaster Response is in communication with the Florida-Bahamas Synod, the South Carolina Synod, the North Carolina Synod, Lutheran Services Carolinas and other partners who are preparing to respond.
With your support, Lutheran Disaster Response can provide survivors of this hurricane and others like it with immediate relief, and accompany them on the long road to recovery. Your gifts designated for “Hurricane Response” will be used entirely (100 percent) for direct response until it is complete. Together, we can support those whose lives have been impacted by hurricanes. (Photo credit: NOAA)
