Members of St. Luke's Lutheran Church traveled from outside Seattle Washington on their own dime and their own time and spent a week sleeping on hard floors at Community Presbyterian Church. They repaired ceilings, installed sub flooring and laid new flooring, reset toilets, replaced a roof, installed dropped ceilings, installed windows, hot water heaters and doors, and painted. They were just part of a continuing effort of CREW's to help local residents recover from Hurricane Wilma and the new season of storms begin. God Bless them and our many other Lutheran (and other) volunteers. One of the elderly Cuban women that lives alone in a very re
mote area, was so gracious for
the help they sent that she cooked for them and even asked if she could adopt one of the young men for companionship and live in help!
Our local Faith Lutheran Church, also had a fundraiser for CREW, they raised $177.00 cash and the following goods for donation, 12 boxes of pens, 6 boxes of paperclips, 2 staplers, 5 boxes of number 10 envelopes, 9 reams of copy paper, 5 boxes of pencils, 2 packs of notebook paper, 1 box of file folders, 5 number 6 3/4 envelopes, 10 boxes of tape and 2 packs of post its. This was very welcome, as finding funding for office supplies is almost impossible! God Bless Faith Lutheran!
Lutheran Disaster Response has consistently assisted us by sending volunteers from all over the country, which some of these Churches have also donated funds. If you look at past blog posts you will see what many of these churches have done for us.

Trish, interesting site! I found it by accident while going through blogger groups. I live in Tampa and on my blog I have recently posted hurricane preparation videos (from Lowes), and such. I just thought it was interesting timing that I just finished posting about hurricanes and then I found your blog!
Anyways, nice site, good work you are doing.
