You can support NALC Disaster Relief teams two ways:
- Order online and ship directly to the NALC Disaster Warehouse:
- Rakes, shovels (spade & flat), brooms, mops, cleaning supplies, water
- St. John’s Lutheran Church 740 North Center Street; Statesville, NC 28677
- Gift Cards – you can “Stuff the Truck” with a gift card from Walmart, Lowes, or Home Depot. These gift cards will be sent to NALC Disaster Response to be distributed as needed. Our “Truck” is on the table in the Gathering Area.
Offering your gifts of time and energy:
When it is safe and appropriate for us to go, and housing is available, we anticipate a short-term mission trip (or two) to some of the areas affected along the Florida Coast or up into Douglas, GA. Stay tuned for more info. Please let one of the pastors know if you’re interested in serving.
Are you a Thrivent Member:
- Thrivent members can apply for an Action Team Kit to be able to help purchase supplies that are being collected and will be continuing to be collected. It takes about 2 weeks to receive the kit, but $250 can go a long way to purchase supplies and supplies can be purchased and shipped directly to a relief warehouse’s (address above)
- For every $2 that people donate through Thrivent online giving platform, Thrivent will add $1 and they will be covering all processing fees, so 100% will go to the cause. Click HERE for more information.
- If you need help with Thrivent matters, please speak with Jackie Hudson or call your Thrivent financial representative.
