LSS Disaster Services
Following a major domestic disaster, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS) works together with the national office of Lutheran Disaster Response to bring help, hope and healing to disaster survivors and their caregivers. Lutheran Disaster Response is a collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

In Minnesota, LSS coordinates volunteers, contributions and resources from Lutheran congregations, and other Minnesotans who wish to help minister and care for the needs of children, families and elderly who have been affected by natural or human-caused disasters.

Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota is teaming up with LSS of North Dakota, Red Cross, The Salvation Army and United Methodist Committee on Relief to help families in Minnesota and North Dakota affected by flooding along the Red River. An office is expected to open with a few weeks in the Fargo/Moorhead area.

Volunteers will continue to be needed to help families rebuild. If you can help with carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, or roofing, or can manage hammers and nails, please fill out the volunteer form below.

Along with work in the Red River Valley, the LSS Disaster Services division is gearing up for a busy summer as they prepare to offer 23 Camp Noah programs in Iowa, Galveston, Texas and Moorhead, Minnesota. These week-long day camps help children recover spiritually and emotionally after a disaster.

Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in the disaster response and recovery efforts at LSS of Minnesota.
