Midwest Disaster

Sisters and brothers in Christ,

Between February 22 and March 3, 2012, a deadly series of storms raced across the Midwest and the South, spawning at least 64 violent tornadoes that killed more than 50 people and injured many more in 14 states. Hundreds of homes, farms and businesses were damaged or destroyed during the outbreak. 

 

Currently, ELCA Disaster Response and ELCA congregations are providing spiritual care, coordinating volunteer response through local partner agencies and laying the groundwork for further response as communities repair and rebuild. No ELCA congregations have reported severe damage.  

Please help now with your contribution to ELCA Disaster Response designated for "U.S. Severe Spring Storms.” Your gifts designated to U.S. Severe Spring Storms will be used entirely (100 percent) to help families whose lives and livelihoods have been impacted by these disasters.

Your prayers and your partnership are greatly needed and deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Rev. Daniel Rift

Director, ELCA World Hunger and Disaster Appeal
