Your Donations Continue to Assist Churches in Serving Their Communities Affected by Nebraska Floods

The generosity of Lutheran Church Charities donors continues. Additional donations were sent this past week to Christ Lincoln – Lincoln and Good Shepherd – Fremont in Nebraska who are providing assistance to flood affected residents. Both churches express their huge thanks for ongoing financial assistance and sharing their recovery needs for their communities.

Christ Lincoln operates as a donation and distribution center for 12 communities. Tom Grunow, Director of Financial Generosity and DR Coordinator, stated that with the donation received, they were able to purchase all of the tools and supplies needed to outfit a trailer for the Pacific Junction community to use daily as they do mucking and gutting of homes. They are so thankful for the support, as this is a very small community that had up to 17’ of water throughout their town, with most homes under water for weeks.

Good Shepherd, with Pastor Ryan Ankerson, has become the long term recovery center which will house, feed, and send volunteers into affected communities to work on designated homes for the next year, assisting with resident’s recovery process. Remkea Ockander, Director of Family Ministry, said upon hearing of donations received from LCC, “This donation is an answer to our prayers. We prayed this afternoon about our financial needs this week to provide assistance to communities … and here it is a couple hours later that you have called. What a blessing!”

Please prayerfully consider donating to help LCC continue supporting the individuals and families affected through our churches during their long recovery.
