An experienced real estate professional with more than 20 years of experience, Kurt Lutgert serves as Vice President of The Lutgert Companies in Naples, Florida, where he has led development projects throughout Southwest Florida. Apart from his everyday work in the real estate sector, Kurt Lutgert prioritizes giving back and supports a number of nonprofit relief organizations, including The Salvation Army.
In response to recent monsoon flooding in Sri Lanka, The Salvation Army has provided relief supplies and comfort to thousands of displaced people. The flooding saw some 200 people lose their lives and destroyed 1,500 homes, with many more damaged by the storms themselves.
In addition to providing relief supplies, The Salvation Army kick started joint efforts with local authorities, as well as other global humanitarian organizations, to assist in the cleanup efforts. In his comments, Salvation Army Secretary for Business Administration Captain Felix Kumaravel said that the ultimate goal of these projects is to restore the affected areas of Sri Lanka to habitability.
