Disaster Relief

New York City 9/11 Unmet Needs Roundtable The Roundtable was formed in 2002 with the leadership and funding of Lutheran Disaster Response of New York. With its enlarged partner-base, the Roundtable provides for the unmet material needs of 9/11 victims for whom no other assistance is available. These victims are typically low-wage earners, marginalized minorities, undocumented immigrants and those excluded from federal assistance programs.
