Roberts Family Build “Thanksgiving Day” Kits for OGT Phoenix

The Orphan Grain Train Phoenix Branch is blessed to have Steve and Gayle Roberts as volunteers. They believe in giving back. During Thanksgiving they drove to California to visit their adult children and grandchildren. They took with them the necessary supplies to make 24 hygiene kits and 10 backpack school kits. The family gathered and assembled the kits. Gayle reported that they had such a great time doing this as a family. The kits were delivered to the Phoenix warehouse on December 20.
Hygiene and backpack school kits are a highly requested from our partners. Thank you to the Roberts Family for using your Thanksgiving “together time” to benefit others.
“Fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you.”
II Timothy 1:6
