OGT Indiana Sends Load to Latvia

On March 4, 2026, Orphan Grain Train Indiana successfully loaded a 40’ container filled with relief supplies that will support vulnerable individuals and families across Latvia. Latvian Red Cross’, Andris Kikusts, is the recipient who will distribute these items:
Warm clothing for men, women, and children
Blankets, quilts, linens, and bedding essentials
Shoes and winter footwear
Accessories such as hats, scarves, and gloves
Bibles
Manual wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs & commodes (no batteries)
Used bicycles
Backpacks
“I am very grateful for your support. I am truly pleased that our cooperation will continue and that we will be able to provide support to people who need it. Our support covers people of all ages and genders. The most needed items are warm men’s and women’s clothing and footwear for the winter season. We are also responsible for a day center for children, which needs school supplies. I believe we can accept all categories of goods and find meaningful use for them. Our distribution and support capacity has not decreased. We will continue to support all regions and vulnerable groups of people.”
— Andris Kikusts, Latvian Red Cross
Thank you, to all the OGT Indiana donors and volunteers who make shipments like this possible.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
