LCC Donors Help Students at Palm Bay Prep Academy Affected by Hurricane Michael

The Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) from Trinity Lutheran Church in Lisle, Illinois, has been coordinating a gift card program to assist children of the Palm Bay Prep Academy in Panama City, Florida. During Lutheran Church Charities' recent disaster response deployment, Trinity team leaders Jan Boerman and Skip Sorensen met with Pastor Paul McComack from Trinity Lutheran Church and Palm Bay Prep Academy Principal, Dr. Kathy Fontaine. They heard about the difficult situations these children and their families are now facing in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. Many are now homeless and living in tents. Everything they own is gone!

Dr. Fontaine contacted Jan Boerman, Trinity Lisle team leader, to ask if any other assistance could possibly be provided to her students. She stated that many of these children are in desperate need of shoes and socks. She asked if it would be possible to provide a Walmart gift card for each student to purchase these needed items.

Through your generous donations, Lutheran Church Charities was able to support the Trinity Lisle LERT team in the purchasing and delivering of gift cards to Pastor Paul McComack to give to Dr. Fontaine for her students. Many of these students will now be receiving new shoes and socks for Christmas.
