About this facility
- Mission
- When disaster strikes in your community, the local Lutherans are the first form of Lutheran Disaster Response. Every time Lutherans act in service to their neighbors in need following a disaster, they are being Lutheran Disaster Response. Lutheran Disaster Response is a collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). We seek to demonstrate Christ's compassion for people by promoting hope, healing, and wholeness for disaster survivors

Organizational Structure
Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) is a collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS). Operating through a nationwide network of affiliates who are prepared and equipped to coordinate disaster response efforts, LDR accompanies individuals, families, and congregations in communities preparing for and responding to disasters. Disaster services are provided through four core components: hardship grants, spiritual & emotional care, volunteer coordination, and long-term recovery.
Disaster Program
LutheranCare, a faith-based organization, dedicated to providing innovative, quality programs and services, is the LDR affiliate for upstate New York. A representative group of trained, leadership volunteers from across the geography work to engage Lutheran congregations in preparedness activity within their communities, equipping them for disaster response when the needs arise. We provide preparedness education for individuals, faith communities and other community groups, disaster planning assistance for congregations, work collaboratively with other non-profit disaster responders, and join in long-term recovery response efforts in local communities recovering from disaster.
