Hazel Green, Kentucky Receives Shipment from Maryland
Orphan Grain Train Maryland announced to all volunteers the successful load that was delivered to Hazel Green Food Project. (HGFP). in Hazel Green, Kentucky. HGFP sits in one of the poorest counties in all of Appalachia. Volunteers loaded winter and summer clothes for men, women, and children; plus-sized clothes; linens including those marked specifically for Appalachia; medical and hygiene supplies; soft toys; sewing machines; and more. This totaled 1,227 pieces and weighed 21,920 lbs. OGT Maryland’s partners in Hazel Green eagerly looked forward to the arrival of this load that came on Friday, April 24.
Tony Rodriquez, assistant branch manager of OGT Maryland, noted that each volunteer is a unique part of a greater common body which has been aligned to one mission. The mission is to serve those people suffering from disasters, difficult situations or those who just need a helping hand. Volunteers are involved in all of this, while at the same time sharing the “Goodness of God!” Rodriquez noted that no single person or contribution gets a shipment to its destination; rather, when everyone works together for the Glory of God, the work and mission thrive and are blessed.
“May the Lord bless each one of you for your enduring dedication.” – Tony
And as for you, brethren, do not become weary or lose heart in doing right.
