Domestic Disaster Response
What We Do
Love Mercy Do Justice works in coordination with Covenant World Relief, regional conferences and local congregations who have partnerships with organizations on the ground in affected areas, to respond to those in need during times of disaster. Support Domestic Disaster Relief efforts today.
When disaster strikes, concerned individuals and groups want to help. But what is the best way to respond? Read The Best Ways to Respond in Disaster.

Current Projects
Respond to Current Disasters
Love Mercy Do Justice works primarily through regional conferences and local Covenant churches and their partners on the ground to provide a timely response when a domestic disaster strikes. Give today, where needed most.
Hurricane Relief
Together, with Love Mercy Do Justice, we can be a part of alleviating the pain and suffering of those affected through the provision of water, temporary shelter, debris clean up, home repair, support work teams, and other “felt needs.” Your generous giving will enable us to continue to respond as long-term recovery efforts are launched. We are committed to standing alongside Covenant churches and their partners on the ground in times of need. To support relief efforts, click below and choose ‘hurricanes’ in the dropdown menu.
