In reply to Jenny Lenchner.

Jenny, at this early stage, our LCMS Disaster Response team is there getting the initial assessment of needs being done by the local congregations in conjunction with their district disaster response coordinator. Right now the best way to help those affected by the storms is to provide funds so the materials they need can be purchased right away.

You may give your gift online at https://www.lcms.org/givenow/disaster or by calling 888-930-4438 and pressing #1. By doing so, your donation will go directly to the LCMS Disaster Relief Fund so we can issue grants to help districts, congregations and individuals who have been impacted by the storms. One hundred percent of donations received will go toward LCMS relief efforts, as fundraising and administrative costs are being covered by a special grant.

Keep watching the LCMS website for updates. God bless you for your generosity and your willingness to help those affected by the storms.
