Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are perhaps the greatest asset of Lutheran Disaster Response.  Lutherans have become well-known in the disaster response community as the experts in long-term disaster recovery.  We respond to disasters of all shapes and sizes through our national network of LDR affiliate organizations.

Volunteer Info:

  • Don't leave home without your LDR Gear!  There are t-shirts, hats, and nail aprons, and you can even have them customized with your church and hometown.  Available now from our friends at
    Old Lutheran.  Order yours today!

  • Volunteers make such an impact on the people whom they serve, and they, in turn, are impacted by the hope and perseverance shown by those who have survived disaster.  Read Volunteer Stories from people who have already served.  Would you like to share your story?  E-mail us.

  • Having trouble finding a week or two to volunteer in a disaster area?  Standing in two feet of dried muck is not your idea of a good time?  Learn about Volunteer Opportunities that can be done without leaving your community.  Or contact your local LDR affiliate organization for other opportunities.
