Every Thursday, long-time Orphan Grain Train Norfolk volunteer Jane Ternus, works at the Servant Center. She also gathers items that are set aside for the Families Working Together organization in Wanblee, S.D. Jane transports the items to storage until Jeff and Dee Acklie of Omaha can pick them up and take them to the Pine Ridge location. In November, the Acklies of Omaha, picked up 80 boxes of items to be delivered to Families Working Together. Families Working Together is a nonprofit organization established to support and strengthen families on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Items that were delivered included bedding, hygiene products, diapers, household goods, winter coats, boots and accessories. Peanut butter, fruit roll ups and baby food were also part of the load.

In October, Jane delivered 43 Christmas boxes to the organization. Along with receiving the carefully packed Christmas boxes, children also learn about the coming of Jesus into our world. The Christmas story is included in every box. Thank you, Jane, Dee and Jeff for your commitment to sharing the love of Christ with others.
