Hurricane Relief with Mission Action Fund Match
Looking for a way to support communities struck by recent hurricanes and flooding? The Mission Action Fund will match all gifts for Lutheran Disaster Response in October, up to $10,000.

For your gift to qualify for the match, make your donation by:

• using Grace’s online giving site  (https://gracedm.org/give-to-grace/ ) Select “Lutheran Disaster Response: Hurricane Relief” if giving online or indicate in the memo line.
• bringing payment directly to the office during office hours or by appointment.
• Mailing a check made out to Grace with Lutheran Disaster Response: Hurricane Relief” written on the memo line.

Gifts can of course be made directly to Lutheran Disaster Response, but will not qualify for matching funds. 

Lutheran Disaster Response is different from Lutheran World Relief, both provide aid in disasters.
Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) is the ELCA’s ministry to provide short- and long-term recovery when disasters strike in the United States and around the world. Working closely with ELCA synods, global companion churches, Lutheran social ministry organizations — including Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service and Lutheran World Relief — and ecumenical partners to develop responses that address local needs. LDR awards grants to partners, giving them the flexibility to address the needs of impacted communities. It also provides technical assistance, training opportunities and accompaniment through the relief and recovery stages. Additionally, Lutheran Disaster Response works with communities in disaster preparedness, mitigation and resilience.
