Bound for Carolina

After lengthy and complicated obstacles mostly due to complexities

in the storm harmed region, this full-size semi-trailer left Michigan

November 15 and was delivered the following day to

a hurricane relief hub at

Restoration Church Disaster Relief

Swannanoa, North Carolina.

We can only estimate, but the shipment included approximately fifteen tons of recovery assistance including food, water, hygiene and cleaning supplies, bedding, tents, generators, flood buckets, and more for distribution to families severely impacted by Hurricane Helene.

OUR MOST SINCERE THANKS

for collaboration with AG COMMUNITY RELIEF

and to

COUNTRYSIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

for providing all trucking essentials for this effort. 

We were able to obtain only a few photos of the unloading and of those  receiving assistance.  We pray the darkness of tragedy will be replaced by the brightness of Christian hope and loving care made tangible through the kindness of so many who enabled Orphan Grain Train--Michigan to complete this relief shipment.

We're Not Done with Hurricane Relief

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene will require many years of recovery and rebuilding.  It has been said rightly about Orphan Grain Train ... "We're not first responders, but we're the last to leave." Orphan Grain Train--Michigan has $40,000 specifically earmarked for subsequent efforts as the long task of rebuilding continues.
