1-17-2012 Magazine Article

Orphan Grain Train has a write-up in the January/February issue of Nebraska Life Magazine. Alan Bartels wrote a beautiful article entitled Norfolk on the Trail of Success.  In that article he does a fantastic job of highlighting the work of Orphan Grain Train. Thanks for the publicity, Nebraska Life, and thanks especially to Alan, who spent many hours here at Orphan Grain Train, gathering info and photos.

Unlike Our Government, There is No Pork Here!

During the fiscal year that ended 5-31-2011, for every dollar spent by Orphan Grain Train, only 4 pennies went for management and fundraising.  A whopping 96 cents of every dollar spent went for program expenses.  Very few non-profits can match the frugality of Orphan Grain Train. This should make our donors very, very happy.
