Lutheran Disaster Response 

 

 

 
 
Spring cleaning. Like a ritual - the weather turns warmer and everyone begins to emerge from hibernation and venture outside. The task at hand is daunting, but with a little spring in your step and your sleeves rolled up...you dive right in.
 
It's this kind of enthusiasm and hard work that is what LSMNJ's Hand-in-Hand days are all about. Coordinated by LSMNJ's Lutheran Disaster Response, teams of volunteers tackle numerous jobs across the state to assist those who were afflicted by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012. 
 
So if 'spring fever' is getting the best of you and you're looking to make a difference -- join in! Imagine how good it will feel, at the end of the day, to know that your hard work directly impacted another person's livelihood and wellbeing.
  
Sign up for the next Hand-in-Hand service date -- June 21st -- by contacting Alex Elefante at aelefante@lsmnj.org.
