Local Disaster Relief

Salem Women of the North American Lutheran Church and all the other servants from Salem Lutheran and Community Christian Church volunteers in West Alexandria recently provided donations and efforts to shop, assemble, and transport buckets in our Bucket Brigade project for disaster relief.

The original buckets intended for midwest flood victims were redirected to Brookville and Dayton for the tornado relief and the remaining buckets were on hand for recovery teams coming into the area to rebuild houses in February.

Our church preparedness has reached out to serve locally during this Covid19 Pandemic. March 23 and 28, the remaining 150 buckets were redirected again and emptied for a new purpose. Approximately 500 masks and 500 gloves were delivered by Tim Schubach to Kettering Health network to address PPE shortages. KHN also welcomed bleach, disinfectants, sponges, rags, and brushes. Various disinfectants and cleaning supplies were delivered to area homeless shelters in the Dayton area as well. The hours of work to assemble these buckets and health care kits, Bibles and blankets have become blessings for all the recipients from the tornados to the pandemic. Thank you for all of your help, well done faithful servants, and keep in mind we have 150 empty buckets ready to be filled again when the time comes. Jack and Diane Walker of Salem, and Tim and Rita Schuback of Living Water Lutheran Church in Centerville gathered masks and gloves from the North American Lutheran Church Disaster Relief buckets to address shortages of PPE for local healthcare providers. Thanks go out to Jim and Shirley Jellison and grandkids, Jack and Diane Walker, Elden and Linda Barnhart, Susan Ackerman, Brenda, Katie, and Kelli Wright, Debbie Voge Cress, Roger Voge, Nancy Worley, Joyce Tuthill, Joyce Combs, Sharon McKee, Anita Williams Baker, Tim Schubach from Living Water in Centerville and Mary Bates, NALC Disaster Coordinator.
