Orphan Grain Train–Phoenix Blessed by Partnership with ProLift Rigging
Orphan Grain Train-Phoenix is blessed to have ProLift Rigging as a corporate partner. Our assistant manager, Paul Richardson, is an employee at ProLift. This company believes in giving back to the community and the company’s purpose is “To acknowledge and glorify God by living in submission to Him; through impacting people, stewarding His resources, accomplishing meaningful work, and directing our profits to His redemptive work on earth.
On Juneteenth, the “Cares Team” from ProLift Rigging held a backpack packing session and provided the Phoenix Branch with over 100 backpacks. This is the second year they held this event, and we benefited! We were especially thankful for these backpacks, as we had only one box left in our inventory. Two days later, the OGT Branch distributed more than half of these backpacks to a Matthews Crossing Food Bank for their Meals to Grow Program and a non-profit foster care organization-Arizonans for Children.
Thank you, Pro-Lift Rigging!
