Flint--St. Mark Packers Make Vanguard Delivery

      Orphan Grain Train—Michigan’s secondary packing station in Flint made its first delivery of goods November 21.  Martha Kellaway is coordinator of this Flint extension of Orphan Grain Train’s work now in operation at St. Mark Lutheran Church.

     Young people and members of the St. Mark congregation on Sunday made up a brigade to carry boxes to fill a trailer.  Those goods were then delivered to our OGT Center in Sebewaing for eventual shipment around the world. 

     With this vanguard effort, the Flint volunteers collected valuable goods.  It was a joy to receive multiple cartons in the following categories:  Women’s winter tops, Men’s suits, Blankets and quilts, Stuffed toys, Bedding and sleeping mats, Purses and handbags, Mixed linens, Towels, Adult diapers, Women’s winter bottoms, Men’s shoes, Infant and toddler wear, Men’s winter bottoms, Underwear, Men’s coats, Women’s shoes, School chairs, Walkers, Canes, and more.

     As the Flint packing station expands, humanitarian goods may be donated at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 5073 Daly Blvd. any time during church office hours.  You can find a "wish list" with this link -->.Michigan Wish List.
