Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) sending survivor kits to Orphan Grain Train
LWML (Sept. 2005) President Linda Reiser arranged for Orphan Grain Train’s Norfolk, Neb., Annapolis, Md., and other warehouses to accumulate survivor kits for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. For more information, visit: http://www.lwml.org/survivor_kits.html.
Orphan Grain Train sent the equivalent of three semi-trailer loads of survivor kits to the Gulf Coast, including those loaded on the five semi’s that left Norfolk on Monday, Nov. 7, 2005. The kits were mixed into the various shipments that left Norfolk, Saint Louis, Indiana, and other Orphan Grain Train shipping depots.
On Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005, Reiser visited Orphan Grain Train to learn how the survivor kits were being distributed to Katrina relief centers. She expressed her elation at the system she observed at the Norfolk warehouse.

Orphan Grain Train will continue to ship requested supplies to the Katrina relief centers on the Gulf Coast as long as there are requests for help and as long as gifts and other needed resources are available.
