Gulf Oil Spill Update
Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) is
continuing to monitor the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and
asks for your fervent prayers for all those who have been affected.
At this time, only people who are
specifically trained and equipped by BP are permitted to work directly in
the clean-up process. In the future, opportunities may emerge for other
types of volunteer roles, and each state in the area is receiving names of
volunteers who are interested in helping. To register, click one of the
following links:
Louisiana:
volunteerlouisiana.gov
Mississippi:
volunteermississippi.org
Florida:
volunteerfloridadisaster.org
Alabama:
servealabama.gov
Because BP has pledged to pay for all
costs related to clean-up as well as reimburse those who have experienced a
loss of income, LDR will not be funding oil spill recovery efforts at this
time. Instead, please consider a donation to help those in the many states
affected by recent flooding and tornadoes. Visit
www.ldr.org
to donate or learn more. Many thanks!
