Eight adult volunteers from St. John Lutheran Church in Green Valley, Illinois, traveled 330 miles round trip to lend their hands to the work of the Missouri-Illinois branch of OGT. They brought 20 handmade quilts plus a variety of men’s coats. Brad Jackson, manager of the site, coordinated the initial scheduling and work. A tour of the site also took place.
“Their work at the site involved sorting clothes, packing hygiene kits, bringing in food for distribution to various church-related pantries in St. Louis, and concluded with miscellaneous tasks,” reported Dr. Gerald Perschbacher, a board member of the branch. “They spent additional time in the afternoon for a stop at Concordia Seminary. Their help was sincerely appreciated.” Coordinator for the visiting group was Donald Lutz of Green Valley.
