When disaster strikes, our response begins. When the headlines fade, our commitment remains.
Over the past two weeks, Lutheran Disaster Response has connected with partners and communities beginning the long journey of recovery after storms, flooding, wildfires and earthquakes across the United States and around the world.
From Colorado to Puerto Rico to Hawai'i, from Colombia to Ukraine, we are reminded of a simple truth: recovery takes time.
While news coverage moves on, families continue rebuilding homes, restoring livelihoods and finding hope after unimaginable challenges. That's why Lutheran Disaster Response walks alongside communities not just in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, but for as long as recovery takes.
We stay. Because that's what we do.
Your support helps provide relief, recovery and resilience for neighbors affected by disasters and humanitarian crises. Most importantly, it reminds survivors that they have not been forgotten.
❤️ Join us in accompanying our neighbors from day one until the work is done.
