Disaster Relief
As we serve our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here are our donation and volunteer needs.
Donation Needs
St. Peter’s is serving as the primary collection point for Flood Clean-Up Kits and Hygiene Kits. We collect both completed kits and individuals items. We use the individual items to assemble kits and deliver to them to different organizations in the mountains who distribute them to those in need.
Our most urgent needs are:
Please deliver or ship kits or kit items to:
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church
6175 St. Peter’s Church Rd
Conover, NC 28613
The Southeastern District of the LCMS has created Amazon shopping lists for those who are looking to directly send supplies. One list is for flood clean-up and the other is for hygiene kits.
Volunteer Needs
We continue to accept volunteers to help receive delivers, unload and sort donations, and assemble kit items. Our volunteer hours are most Mondays-Fridays from 12:00 PM until 5:00 PM. To volunteer, please call the church office at (828) 256-2970.
If you would like to volunteer in the areas most affected by the hurricane, please visit the LCMS Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) website to signup. All LERT volunteers must undergo a background check before participating. You can do this when you sign up for a volunteer event, or you can do so ahead of time.
Housing Volunteers
St. Peter’s is uniquely blessed with large facilities and team of volunteers who are gifted in hospitality. Whenever there is a LCMS Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) deployment at our church, we will be host volunteers and provide meals, showers, and laundry facilities.
Financial Donations
While St. Peter’s will accept financial donations, we would prefer to have all financial gifts donated through the Southeastern District Disaster Response Team on their website.
