Because We Can!

As of last week, federal disaster aid (FEMA) has been made available to individuals in 9 counties (Barbour, Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Marion, Taylor, and Tyler). The total number of applications thus far, according to Kelly Efaw, FEMA liaison, is 449. Of these homes, approximately 47 were destroyed and 93 sustained major damage.

CLP has contacted the local involved Red Cross agencies with offers of One+Plus Kits and STUFF as families begin to recover. In addition, there are a few sites that could currently use ‘mudding out’ assistance. If you are interested in taking a small crew to one of these sites in the upcoming weeks, please contact the CLP office to make arrangements. 

As recovery continues, and Long Term Recovery Committees determine unmet needs, CLP will keep you informed of opportunities for assistance.

One+Plus Kits

     CLP says, “Thanks!” to all congregations who continue to supply those in need with One+Plus Kits. Approximately 60 kits were brought to Synod Assembly by Church of the Covenant, Grafton; Grace, Fairmont; Christ the King, Huntington; Shepherd of the Hills, Deep Creek; St. Mark’s, Clarksburg and Mt Calvary, Westernport. Forty more were delivered in Wheeling by Edgwood. This continued generosity speaks volumes for the Lutheran community to those who receive these kits.
Thank you again!

Covering the Uninsured

Did you know…?

  • 4 West Virginians die each week due to the lack of health insurance… this amounts to 210 persons each year
  • Between 2000 and 2006, an estimated 1,500 West Virginians died because they had no health insurance
  • Across the nation, in 2006, “twice as many people died from lack of health insurance as died from homicide.
