Navajo Nations Receive Shipments from OGT Phoenix
On June 11, 2026, the Phoenix Branch rented a 26’ box truck to take donations to two Arizona Navajo Nation locations. This was a three-day trip because of the distance from the Phoenix warehouse.
Day 1: load the truck and drive to eastern Arizona and stay overnight.
Day 2: drive to both locations and unload and stay overnight this was a 12-hour day. Day 3: drive back to Phoenix warehouse and return the rented truck. It’s a six-hour drive one way from the Phoenix warehouse to Rock Point, AZ! This shipment was divided in half. The first half was delivered to The Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rock Point, AZ. This was OGT Phoenix’s first delivery to this location. The OGT-Phoenix volunteers were greeted with welcoming smiles, enthusiasm and lots of help. The second half of the truck was delivered to the Klagetoh Chapter House in Klagetoh, AZ. This was a long workday and worth every minute. People at each location shared how much these deliveries help the residents.
Thank you to the Allen and Celeste Hobratschk and Steve and Chris Brettfeld for donating your time for this delivery. Allen is the Phoenix Warehouse Manager.
Thank you, OGT Phoenix volunteers for your dedication to serving others.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8 NIV
