MATCHING GRANT!
Florida-Georgia Lutheran Early Response (FGLER), has been awarded a $10,000 National Disaster Response Grant from The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). The grant has been awarded as part of the Synod’s effort to equip disaster response organizations so they can assist in the Church’s response to help in the wake of disasters. FGLER will utilize the grant as matching funds to purchase equipment and an enclosed trailer that will enable volunteers to conduct disaster cleanup.
As a Recognized Service Organization of the LCMS, Florida-Georgia Lutheran Early Response serves and assist pastors, congregations, the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, and their communities throughout the Florida-Georgia area and beyond by providing training in disaster preparedness and response, disaster and emergency readiness planning, and management of disaster events for churches and LCMS Districts. Please make any size donation today to help us complete this purchase.
The LCMS approved our status as a Registered Service Organization (RSO). We are thankful to work as a partner in ministry with LCMS churches. FLGA Lutheran Life article (page 36)
