Lutheran Disaster Response Illinois

Lutheran Disaster Response Illinois Lutheran Disaster Response Illinois brings God's hope, healing, and renewal to those whose lives have been disrupted by disasters.

We are a church that is a catalyst, convener and bridge builder. Lutheran Disaster Response Illinois collaborates with other disaster response organizations and religious entities in the state. 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 recognize that every disaster is l

ocal. 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. Lutheran Disaster Response strives to help the church continue to be church in the midst of disaster — following Christ’s call to bring hope and healing to our neighbor in need. Some key areas of work include:

Providing emotional and spiritual care for people who have been affected by a disaster and for leaders who respond to a disaster

Coordinating volunteers through our local affiliates

Assisting refugees in a holistic way by meeting the varied needs of the community

Promoting disaster risk-reduction by helping communities build their assets thereby reducing the effects of likely disasters

Providing long-term recovery efforts by addressing the unmet needs months or even years after a disaster strikes
