Why Lutheran World Relief?
- A Legacy of Trust: Founded in 1945, we bring eight decades of experience in humanitarian aid and sustainable development.
- Unrivaled Reach: From the hardest-to-reach communities across the United States to the most remote villages across the globe, we go where others cannot or will not.
- Agility & Speed: Our logistics network is designed for rapid mobilization. Prepositioning supplies in higher-risk regions means we can often deploy critical resources to disaster-stricken areas within 24 hours.
The power of strategic partnership
Your corporate resources. Our humanitarian expertise. Together, we:
- Mitigate crises

True corporate social responsibility is more than a donation — it’s a collaborative movement toward lasting transformation.
What your partnership makes possible
- Strategic Warehousing, Tracking & Prepositioning: When disaster strikes, we act within hours — not weeks — delivering critical aid to those who need it most, exactly when they need it most.
- Resource Mobilization & Last-Mile Delivery: No matter if the “last mile” leads across Oklahoma’s flooded plains or Tanzania's remote highlands, together, we ensure it's never a barrier to saving lives.
- Processing of Material Resources: Your funding supports the rigorous processing and shipping standards required to move tons of aid across domestic state lines and international borders efficiently.
