Hurricane Katrina Relief shipments

Orphan Grain Train relief shipments have been sent regularly to receiving partner organizations and church-sponsored work- and relief-centers in the hurricane-affected areas of the Gulf coast since the weekend of Sept. 3, 2005. Most of the shipments are semi-trailer loads, however Indiana Regional Division has also sent a number of small trailer loads.
