We are thrilled to be open and running operations in our new Servant Center! This is the day the Lord has made…we rejoice and are very glad!

Volunteer Opportunities – We need you to help sort and box donations!  Open every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings from 9:00am-Noon. No need to call, just show up as time works for your schedule…bring a friend, too.  OGT is located at 5040 E Sam Houston Parkway S, 77505.  To schedule a servant event for youth or small groups, connect with Holly ogtvolunteer@gmail.com.

Recent Distributions – Your donations have provided much needed clothing for survivors of the flooding in the Rio Grande Valley. OGT delivered 300+ boxes to San Dimas where Pastor Weber with Immanuel Lutheran in Mercedes helps distribute items to families in need.  Legacy Ranch Kids – Gonzales, The Warrior’s Refuge – West Columbia, Clothed by Faith – Deer Park, among others, have requested help from OGT.  We are blessed to pass on the blessings we receive.

Donation Drop Off is every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 9:00am-noon. 5040 E Sam Houston Parkway S, 77505.  New or gently used clothing, towels, bedding, shoes, coats. Undies and socks must be new in original packaging.  Medical supplies – walkers, shower seats, etc., are also needed. Have an old bike…there is a need.

Funds – Each OGT Branch is responsible to raise funds to cover operation and shipment costs. We are staffed with an all-volunteer Board who rely on the Lord to touch the hearts of people. Often asked what we need most, the answer is whatever is on your heart…whether time or treasure.

New Box Trailer – we thank HighPoint Church, Friendswood who funded the purchase of a very spacious box trailer so we can pick up and deliver donations across Texas.  God provides!

Donate to Houston Branch

Houston volunteers, Steve, Holly and Sam, traveled to St. John Lutheran in Beaumont, TX to share a presentation about the OGT ministry. Our trailer was needed to haul all the in-gathering of blessings back to Houston. Thank you St. John members for your continued support.
At the Houston Branch 47 students involved in the Key Club at Clear Brook High School volunteered their time to unload the trailer of blessings from St. John, Beaumont. They then sorted and packed 122 boxes. 
         
OGT Houston recently was blessed to be able to deliver care baskets, and a gift of financial support given by Headquarters, to survivors of the flooding in Kerrville, Texas.  We are blessed to be a blessing for those in need.  Please continue to pray for those who lost loved ones and for those who are recovering from loss of home and property.
