Wisconsin Loads First Ever Load to Benin

Republic of Benin, Africa – Orphan Grain Train Wisconsin is the first branch to ship to this country! On February 11, 2026, a crew of willing volunteers loaded a container with 47,520 Kids Against Hunger/Food for Kidz fortified meals, almost 9,000 lbs. of non-perishable food, clothing and blankets and linens. In addition, there are hygiene kits, supplies and medical equipment packed into this load. The Mission d’Évangélisation Jésus‑Revient (M.E.J.R.) is the recipient of this generous load of items. May the Lord greatly bless this container as it makes it way to the continent of Africa and into the hands of this new recipient in the country of the Republic of Benin.
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives up power, love and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
