Thanks to those who have already reached out to us for project suggestions for God’s Work Our Hands Sunday!   Here are three suggestions for projects to support the work of LDR Carolinas now or in the future:

Clean Up Kits (aka flood buckets) 

We want to have these kits available before the next major flooding event happens here in the Carolinas!  Instructions are available here.  Unfortunately, we have limited storage space.  If possible when you assemble these kits, store them in your congregation but let us know how many are available.  We will keep an inventory of the available kits so that we can distribute them quickly when they are needed.   (If you do not have room to store them, let us know and we can make arrangements to gather and store them.)

Quilts

We have an ongoing need for new quilts.   These are given to homeowners when their home has been repaired or rebuilt.  Use the same guidelines for size and construction used for quilts for Lutheran World Relief.  Instructions are available here.  Again, we have limited storage space. Please let us know when you have quilts available for us.

Gift Cards

We use gift cards to purchase cleaning supplies, tools, and building materials as well as items to fill Blessing Baskets.  Those baskets are given to homeowners when the work on their home is complete.   Gift cards allow us to purchase items when and where they are needed with no concerns about storage space.  We suggest $25 gift cards for Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, or Amazon. Mail these to LDR Carolinas, 1988 Lutheran Synod Drive, Salisbury NC 28144

Thank you for your ongoing support of the long-term recovery process following Helene in both NC and SC!
