During October we celebrate the many ministries which are done on our behalf through the church-wide expression of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Because the administrative costs for these organizations come from the mission support money congregations regularly send from their budget, 100% of donations to these groups go to the particular effort.
Disaster Response (https://www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-Development/Lutheran-Disaster-Response/) is present from the beginning until long after television cameras have departed, assisting people to rebuild and restore their lives after a disaster, globally or in the United States.
World Relief (https://lwr.org/) to build infrastructures in the Third World so that basic needs are met and are sustainable. This is where our quilts go each year that find many uses, not only warmth.
World Hunger (https://www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-Development/ELCA-World-Hunger) focuses on the terrible fact that there’s plenty of food but still one-sixth of the world experiences hunger. This organization seeks to discover long term solutions for issues of food, clean water, and poverty.
