Liberty
Disaster Relief
13 For,
brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not LIBERTY for
an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all
the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. Gal 5:13-14 (KJV)
So far this year we have distributed over 350,000 pounds of food into the Liberty area!

Liberty Disaster Relief Outpost is NOW OPEN! CLICK

On September 1,
2009, Liberty Disaster Relief took over what used to be the Urban
Resell thrift shop at 950 S. Kent, Suite F. We will be
completely changing the format, pricing, the name, the signs - but
Carrie Lonsdale, the former owner, will be staying on to use her
expertise and her giant heart to help in Liberty. Hours are
Mon-Sat 10-5 and Tuesday 10-7. We will have "Needs" that
are free and "Wants" that you can pay for. And we'll do our
best to show you the love of Christ and help in any way we can. You
can bring any donations to the store or call us for a pickup.
See below for more or click on the link to the left.
What would it look like if Jesus ran a thrift store? That's what we'd like to find out.
Our Next Big Event!!
The next Community Care Event
will be:
Saturday,
October 24th at 10am.
We're going to
be at the Liberty Disaster Relief Outpost, plus (weather permitting)
hot dogs, free stuff, clothes and lots of hugs. Starting at 10am,
you'll want to be there before that to get your number in line.
If the weather is bad, we'll be registering people inside Desperation
Church and you can wait inside until it's your turn to go through the
line. The address is 950 S. Kent, Suite F. That's in the Liberty
Industrial Park, between Sutherlands Lumber and the bus barn. (Or
right across from Desperation Church, whichever is easier.) See a map here.
The next grocery giveaway will be:
Well, see, here's the thing. It doesn't look like we'll get another Harvesters truck in November or December. Supplies are really low with them and our normal drop would land during the holidays. We're going to do all that we can to continue to accumulate all we can during the week, then we'll be at the Outpost (950 S. Kent) every Saturday morning at 10am until the food runs out. You can also come by the pantry at 106 Crawford.
Please remember that the reason we can do any of this is because God puts it on people's hearts to donate so that we can do all that we do. Please be willing to hear God tell you to share also. We need all the help we can get.
We're asking all the different parts of the Body of Christ to come help. Couldn't we be ONE now? If we obey Isaiah 58, God might just show up in a big way in Liberty, Missouri!
Please come. If you have extra, bring it to donate. If you have needs, we'll share what we have. If you want to help financially, we really could use it. At the typical event we can feed 1,000 people for less than $500. If everybody gave even ONE DOLLAR, we could do this all the time! You can PayPal any amount to help@libertydisasterrelief.com or mail it to Liberty Disaster Relief, 118 N. Connistor, Suite B251, Liberty, MO 64068 or bring it to the event.
And remember, this is God's stuff. Take what you NEED, not what you WANT. There are others in trouble, too. If you abuse it, don't worry about us - GOD will get you!

April 18th - Final Summary Praise God! What a day! We think over 500 people got helped, but it rained and we are still drying out and trying to total up everything! Thanks so much to all the volunteers and all the businesses and ministries that participated. We're planning on doing it again on May 30th, unless God makes a way for us to do it again sooner! If you didn't get one of these letters at the event today, would you please read Doug's "Open Letter of Apology to the World"? CLICK HERE It's this kind of desire to see things change that is motivating this. Maybe you resonate with this too and would like to help. Let us know. We love you!! We really do. And we're not going to stop.
Our own video
coming soon. ____________________________________________________________________________________ If you don't need help - then what have you GOT? What is sitting around in your closet or cupboard or business or garage that could be used by someone in need? Right now, we really need Twin Mattresses, Refrigerators, Freezers, and money for food that we can distribute around town (and gas to do it). We're not waiting for people to come, we're going out and finding them. For $500 we can get 10,000 pounds of food in and out to those in need in Liberty! For $100, we can get 2000 pounds. For $10 we can get 200 pounds. You may not need us now, but you might someday and we need your help NOW. How bad do things have to get before we get serious about this?! |

What is Liberty Disaster Relief?
We are a clearinghouse for all those touched by disaster. We have a clothes closet, food pantry, ministry houses, 24/7 prayer and a host of other services and information. We meet the needs of those in natural and spiritual disasters. We believe God still heals.
We are located in Liberty, Missouri and our first priority is on the needs of the local community, but we aren't named "Liberty Disaster Relief" just because we're here to help with personal and community disasters in Liberty - but because people everywhere are having LIBERTY disasters and we want to help.
Are you experiencing a "Liberty Disaster"?
We classify a Liberty Disaster as a physical crisis in which basic needs (food, clothing, shelter) are being disrupted - or as a spiritual crisis in which a person is unable to walk in the Liberty and freedom that is promised to them in Christ. That may mean slavery to things from which they can't get free - health problems, fear, addiction, dead religion, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc.
"Where the Spirit of God is, there is LIBERTY." (2 Corinthians 3:17)
What to do if you are in the midst of a "Liberty Disaster" :
If your disaster is a PHYSICAL one, click HERE to see the LDR Contact page and we'll see if we can help you or connect you with someone that can.
If your disaster is a SPIRITUAL one, click HERE to link to a website that can help you find solutions to a spiritual disaster. (If you're not sure whether or not you are having a spiritual Liberty Disaster, you might review this checklist HERE.)
We love you. We're going to do all that we can to help you.
