LCC Thanks Donors for Financial Assistance for Families Affected by the Tornado in Fultondale, Alabama

Pastor Ed Brashier from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gardendale, Alabama, is continuing to serve congregation and community members affected by the January 25th Fultondale EF-3 tornado.
 
Pastor Brashier again expresses his gratitude to Lutheran Church Charities and its donors for the financial assistance received that is still being used to help provide assistance for several families reaching out to the church who suffered the loss of their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. This financial assistance is helping families with insurance deductibles and home repairs.
 
One of these families is a couple from Good Shepherd. He is an Elder and plays standing bass in the praise band. She serves in the church food pantry and on the special events committee. Their roof was heavily damaged, fencing, storage shed, and outdoor equipment destroyed. They were very appreciative to receive assistance to help with their recovery.

Thank you to LCC Volunteers for Donation Delivery to Christ the King, Chicago

A special thank you to LCC volunteers, Bob Desiron and Frank Vicari, for delivering a stove for the Senior House and a refrigerator for Christ the King's outreach ministries. For more than ten years, Christ the King has operated a Senior House that provides a home for seniors who fall through senior public housing cracks.
 
Christ the King's outreach ministry has immensely grown during the Coronavirus pandemic by helping to feed families in the neighborhood through the Churches Pantry. Working in the tent cities of Chicago, Christ the King provides hot meals to the homeless in their community. The donation of a freezer will help Christ the King expand the selection of food they can offer people.
 
A special thank you to Salam Christian Fellowship/St. John, Schaumburg for sharing these appliances with their sister congregation.
