Orphan Grain Train, in cooperation with LCMS World Relief and Human Care will ship 513,216 "Kids Against Hunger" meals (two semi-loads) to Haiti next week. Orphan Grain Train is shipping to Haiti both by air and by sea.
A semi-load relief shipment of food sent last month arrived on January 6 and is being used to respond to the disaster. Each semi-load contains 256,608 meals. The next two semi-loads will leave Norfolk the week of January 17. Other relief shipments are in the planning stage. "Kids Against Hunger" volunteers in Hastings, Lincoln, and Norfolk, Nebraska prepared the "Kids Against Hunger" meal packets. Food distributions are intended for all people in need, regardless of church affiliation.
Cash donations of any amount will help the survivors in Haiti. Shipping one semi-load to Haiti costs more than $5,000 in transportation costs. Checks may be sent to Orphan Grain Train, 543 Glen St, Glens Falls, NY 12801. Please write "Haiti" on the memo line.
