ELCA Lutheran Disaster Relief

Lutheran Disaster Response collaborates with other disaster response organizations and religious entities in the United States and around the world. This enables the greatest stewardship of resources and maximum impact of response. We are a welcome partner because we respect the perspectives and strengths of others. We follow Christ's call to bring hope and healing to our neighbor in need. We recognize that every disaster is local. Because of this, we believe every response needs to be rooted in the community; we work to accompany that community from immediate relief through long-term recovery.

Getting Involved

St. John's members have participated in clean up efforts with the flood in Minot, North Dakota; the tornado in Washington, Illinois; the tornado in Brookport, Illinois; and the recent tornado that struck Fairdale, Illinois.  In addition to clean up and repairs in these areas, they provide emotional and spiritual care for people affected by a disaster.
