Disaster Response Volunteers/Missionaries

Each year Volunteers/missionaries from Union Lutheran Church devote a week away from work and family to help others in need due to recent disasters. Our skilled teams have built homes, installed roofing, drywall, kitchens, trim, done repairs, painted, etc. We traveled to such places as Puerto Rico, Ohio River Valley, Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida, Kansas, and Indiana. In conjunction with the Journeymen's group we also completed some local projects and we participate with Habitat for Humanity during ELCA Blitz Weeks.
