The brutal force of the massive storm in N. Carolina and surrounding states has left unbelievable destruction and death behind.  Hundreds of miles of roads are destroyed along with having no power, running water or cell phone reception in several states.  Orphan Grain Train is working on ways we can help.  We are currently in contact with Fuller Center Disaster Rebuilders, whom we have partnered with in the past with hurricane disaster in St. Charles, LA and the freeze in Houston, Texas.  A list of needed items is being formulated with a location to distribute needed food & aid.   We also had a request for our portable kitchen, bedroom unit & shower unit which a location for set up is being considered.

Norfolk warehouse in Nebraska is in need of disaster relief buckets, hygiene kits, non-perishable food and bottled water for Helene disaster relief. We are planning to take relief supplies to Asheville, NC along with 29,000 lbs. of purchased food. OGT is working with Sally Hiller & Ed Grant with LCMS Southeastern District and Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Asheville where distribution will take place.
