In reply to Valerie.

Valerie, this is a wonderful question. Right now, the need for volunteers is pretty low. The few volunteers they had in the first couple of days were simply doing salvage work at the church and parsonage. We'll have more information once the church and affected families have further conversations with their insurance companies.

If it is determined that volunteers will be needed during the rebuilding process, we'll be sure to post that need on the LCMS Disaster Response Facebook page. Feel free to follow us there in order see the latest updates. You can also email us a disaster@lcms.org if you have any further questions. Thanks again for your prayers and your desire to show mercy in this time of need!
