After hearing of the destruction of Hurricane Ida, the Board has selected two charities that are working directly with those recovering from the damage.

The Red Cross coordinates the relief work, so any donation directly to them will support immediate relief.

The ELCA Hurricane Response is also effective and they continue to help long after the Red Cross has left.

The Board encourages you to give to either one.
