Lutheran disaster response organizations are actively involved in relief missions around the world as well as in the United States. There are several non-profit Lutheran disaster relief organizations that are qualified and prepared to provide both immediate and long-term aid to survivors of disasters, refugees of war, and people suffering because of hunger or poverty.

Lutheran Disaster Response

Many Lutheran disaster response organizations are constantly striving to collect, organize, and transport essential supplies and aid to those in need. These non-profit organizations are funded by public donations made by both members and the general public. However, volunteers can also help these organizations immensely by offering their services or working on community support projects when help is needed.

List of Lutheran Disaster Response Organizations

1. Lutheran World Relief

The Lutheran World Relief organization aims to collaborate with local partners in order to provide lasting solutions to poverty, conduct emergency operations when they are required, and rapidly deploy aid where it is needed. In its efforts to help affected communities recover from emergencies, the Lutheran World Relief organization provides emergency kits containing essentials that survivors need in the immediate aftermath of the crisis. They also offer cash programs that support survivors and an Early Recovery and Livelihoods Rehabilitation program to help people in affected areas get back to work and become self-sufficient again as soon as possible.

As the Lutheran World Relief organization has expanded its efforts to several countries across the world, there is a country office for the organization in each of the countries in which it is active. Thus, an Emergency Preparedness Plan exists in each of these offices, detailing how and when the organization can respond to emergencies. The organization also pre-positions items such as emergency kits and quilts in warehouses that are supported by the United Nations. These U.N. Humanitarian Response Depots allow the organization to quickly ship items to where they are needed once an emergency takes place.

By partnering with Lutheran social ministry organizations and with Lutheran congregations, this service has been welcoming refugees to the United States since 1939, and it has helped more than 379,000 refugees throughout its years of activity.
