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!
