Disaster Response is one thing that the ELCA does VERY, VERY WELL.

In part this is because 100% of all funds collected for a specific need, such as Haiti, go directly to the affected area. All "overhead" is absorbed and covered through normal Churchwide Mission Support giving.

Hopefully, none of that will change as congregations redirect or specify their Mission Support giving.
