Orphan Grain Train is currently collecting donations to send to the tornado damaged area in the south. OGT has joined in a cooperative effort of LCMS-Southern District, LCMS-WR-HC and opened a warehouse in Birmingham, AL to receive and distribute goods for those suffering loss.
A load of canned and dry food, water, hygiene needs, quilts, sheets, paper products, kitchen and table ware, small electric appliances, and fans weighing 19,000 lbs was unloaded on Friday May 13 in Birmingham. The next load is planned to be sent down to unload on Friday May 27. The most needed item is food , lots of canned food is asked for.
This load will consist of goods as was the first, and donations are needed. You may drop off at the warehouse or church by Wednesday May 25 so they can be loaded and taken south. No items are taken that are not asked for, due limited space and their needs.
If anyone has questions please call the warehouse 812-579-6884.
