Personal Care Unit

North Carolina ELCA Disaster Response 
   

The North Carolina Women of the ELCA contributed over $12,000 to the purchase of a Personal Care Unit for volunteers to use following disasters. The unit is equipped with three showers and dressing rooms plus a washer and dryer. Many thanks to Lutheran Brotherhood who helped make this project a reality by contributing over $10,000. The Personal Care Unit was on display at the 17th Annual SWO Gathering in June, 2004. Here is an update from George Strunk, Coordinator for Lutheran Disaster Response of the Carolinas, on the PCU.
   

UPDATE:

WELCA Shower trailer, after a brief stay at the annual meeting in Hickory, the trailer has served three teams, responding to Hurricane Isabel. Two weeks at Unity Methodist Church, Bowdens, NC and one week at Westminster United Methodist Church, Kinston, NC. It is ready for more use at the Marion Edwards Recovery Center Initiatives (MERCI) in Goldsboro.
