Lutheran Disaster Response - Recovery from Hurricane Helene

Your gifts in support of Lutheran Disaster Response help our Church provide immediate relief, such as water, clothing, gift cards, tarps and other needs. Since many hurricanes also require a long-term response, Lutheran Disaster Response provides support on the long road to recovery with disaster case management, construction management, unmet needs, and emotional and spiritual care.

With God We Can!

In August of 2013 Trinity began canning produce provided by a local community garden along with surplus produce from the Farmers Market during its first week of operation.

10,569

quarts of Produce to date

Completing our 10th season, with the support of our farmers, we have been able donate over 10,000 quarts of fruits and vegetables to the United Community Ministries. Truly, With God We Can!

__________________________________________________________

Results of the 2022 With God We Can ministry: 

Through November, 2022, Trinity Lutheran Church has processed and provided a total of 1,339 quarts of fruits and vegetables to Peacemakers.   

It has been estimated that hundreds of pounds of garden-fresh fruits and vegetables were also delivered on Saturdays this past summer and fall to the Salvation Army and the United Community Ministries Soup Kitchen.   

The Soup Kitchen has also received delivery of many quart jars of the 2021 inventory of canned apples, peaches, pears, squash and tomatoes. 

The listing of the variety of produce received by Trinity Lutheran for its With God We Can & Freeze ministry includes apples, blackberries, butterbeans, cantaloupes, cherry tomatoes, collards, cucumbers, egg plants, field peas, green beans, greens, hot peppers, okra, pears, persimmons, pink-eyed peas, radishes, red peppers, red potatoes, sweet corn, sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons, yellow squash, and zucchini.’  Canned goods and loaves of fresh baked breads and breakfast rolls were also provided to With God We Can from the Farmers Market this season.

  When you total the produce that was processed by the volunteers for the With God We Can & Freeze ministry since it was launched 10-years ago the number so far is 10,569 quarts.

A sincere “Thank you” to the growers from the Farmers Market at Rocky Mount Mills and to all that helped process this food for those in need in our community.

And they asked, “Lord, when did we see You hungry or naked or sick or homeless and help You?” And Jesus said, “When you care for those who are seen by the world as unimportant and easy to ignore, you care for Me.”
