Flooding is one of the most common natural disasters in the United States. Across the country, Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) supports communities as they recover from devastating floodwaters. LDR provides support for long-term recovery, for emotional and spiritual care, and for educational training of synods and partners in affected regions.
Your gifts to Lutheran Disaster Response equip us to respond to communities affected by flooding and related disasters. These gifts also empower us to respond to disasters whenever and wherever they strike. Gifts to Lutheran Disaster Response designated for “U.S. Flooding" will be used entirely (100%) to assist those affected by floods. Together, we can support those who are on the long road to recovery.
