Four Cars Loaded with Donations and Wonderful Volunteers
Phoenix Branch had ten volunteers drive from Tucson, AZ, which is a two-hour drive. These ten volunteers were from Ascension Lutheran Church and came in four cars loaded with donations and hygiene kits. The church also sent a monetary donation. OGT-Phoenix is blessed to have them as partners. We enjoyed making lunch for these volunteers, too. They worked four hours and sorted and filled 91 boxes for our inventory!
