Ukraine Refugee Shipment Loading Friday - August 23

 Volunteers welcome to help -- 10 a.m.


     Anticipated shipments by Orphan Grain Train can be delayed for various reasons.  Finding best freight pricing; coordination with container ships having available deck space; and orchestrating arrival times to match distribution needs, scheduling, and warehousing space of receiving charities, etc.
     Just this week our window of opportunity opened and we have just four days to prepare.
   
 A container will arrive at Orphan Grain Train--Michigan in Sebewaing this Friday morning, August 23 at 10:00 a.m.  We then have just two hours to load.  Volunteer are always welcome.
     Destination of this shipment is the Open Door Foundation, Ukraine.  The foundation's international director, Vitaliy Smolin, will be a speaker at the Orphan Grain Train Convention this September.
