Donate to Houston Branch

Thank you from North Carolina and Orphan Grain Train

Pastor Skopak, Emmanuel Lutheran – Asheville, and Pastor Frank, St. Peter’s Lutheran Church – Conover, North Carolina sent heartfelt thanks for the two Penske truck loads of donations they distributed to help families recovering from hurricane Helene. Orphan Grain Train thanks churches and individuals in the greater Houston area, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin who responded with generous donations providing winter wear, blankets, and food for survivors of the hurricane. OGT gives thanks for the financial support to cover transportation costs – a huge blessing. OGT is grateful for the dozens of volunteers who helped sort, pack, prepare the shipment, load the trucks, and drive – thank you! To God be the glory.
