Affiliated Midwest Foodstores and KEXL-WJAG Radio Partner with Orphan Grain Train to Collect Food
On October 27, 2005, an Orphan Grain Train semi was filled with supplies for Katrina Relief collected at several Northeast Nebraska Affiliated Food Stores. The collection was promoted by Norfolk, Neb. radio station WJAG-AM/KEXL-FM.
More than $10,000 worth of food and personal hygiene and cleaning supplies were donated to this effort. The final collection was sent south Thursday afternoon, October 27.
Thank you, Radio WJAG-AM/KEXL-FM and Affiliated Foods Midwest!
