In response to the devastating impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton across the Southeast, Lutheran Church of the Resurrection (LCR) has launched a community-wide fundraiser, “Compassionate Community Response: A Fundraiser to Support Those Affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.”
To jumpstart the campaign, LCR is seeding $20,000 from its mission fund and they are calling on the local community to join them in expanding the impact of this gift. After two weeks, a total of $25,490 has been raised with a goal of at least $40,000. Every donation will go directly to 3 trusted organizations providing on-the-ground relief for those affected by these natural disasters including Inspiritus, Lutheran Disaster Response, and the Southeastern Synod Disaster Ministry.
“This is a chance for us to come together and demonstrate the compassion and generosity of our local community. We’ve seen firsthand the destruction these storms have caused, and we want to extend tangible love and support to those who need it most,” said Andy Minard, one of the leaders of LCR.
