Hygiene and Layette Kits Delivered Will Help Many

It was a busy day at OGT’s South Dakota Collection Center when Sherri Blasey and her husband brought 164 OGT boxes from Huron and Wolsey, S.D. Some of the boxes had 124 hygiene kits and 92 layette kits! Our Milbank collection is thrilled to be full of pallets ready to ship shortly. Thank you for your time and talent with making the kits, collecting the goods and boxing everything up!
