MN North Gathers from Detroit Lakes to Share with OGT Wisconsin

Gary & Lisa and Kayla Geske picked up a load of health kits and school kits, quilts and clothing from a satellite Orphan Grain Train Minnesota North location in Detroit Lakes MN. on Sunday April 12th. The Geske’s also had an opportunity to share about OGT during Bible study at Zion Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes, MN while they were there. Each month, Sheri Adkins gathers kits, quilts and clothing from several churches and organizations in the Detroit Lakes area. When she has enough to fill a trailer load, she calls up Geske, the MN North Manager, and he drives south to Detroit Lakes to load up his trailer. He returns to Thief River Falls with his load and begins filling his semi-trailer that once it is filled, will be transported by OGT Wisconsin branch for a shipment.
This is a shout-out to all the people who make this happen: putting together kits and quilts each month, organizing pick-ups and loading and transporting the items to the correct location so that they can be best shared with others. Thank you, to the Geske family and Sheri Adkins for all you do!
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.
