Event details →Help Us Help Gary
The Desert of Indiana is calling upon our Nobles, Daughters, families, friends, community partners, and supporters to join us in providing Humanitarian Assistance for Families Affected by the Storms in Gary, Indiana.
Families throughout Gary continue to face hardships resulting from the devastating storms and prolonged power outages. Many are working to replace lost food and secure water, clothing, household necessities, and other essential supplies.
This is our opportunity to turn compassion into action.
We are asking everyone who is able to support this humanitarian relief effort through a monetary contribution. Every contribution matters. Every act of kindness matters. Every dollar helps us extend assistance to families in need.
HELP US HELP GARY.
When our communities are hurting, we must show up. When families are struggling, we must serve. And when there is a need, we can accomplish more by working together.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1
