Trainings & Deployments From: LCMS Disaster Response & Training

LERT volunteers are needed to rehab an existing bathroom into an ADA compliant bathroom. Work will include, demolition and removal, construction of short new walls, insulation and drywall installation, construction of a new ADA shower, replacing the tile floor, painting the walls and adding new siding where the window was.

Plumbing and Electrical work will be conducted by professionals.

All volunteers are encouraged to wear yellow LERT shirts or vests. Most of the tools necessary to conduct this work will be provided. If a volunteer wants to bring their own tools, that is ok. Sturdy work boots and work gloves are required.

Lunch, water and Gatorade will be provided.

We will meet at the home of the work instead of the listed church. Site supervisor will provide the address to the volunteers that sign up. It is located in St. Charles County.  

It is anticipated that work days will be flexible based on the plumber and electrician schedules as well as the homeowner. Please keep aware of the next day schedule by communicating with the site supervisor or by checking the web page.
