N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Orphan Grain Train (OGT) is planning several shipments of goods, food, and supplies as well as volunteer village relief to Texas following the destruction of Hurricane Harvey.

“We will need to have dry ground to set up the volunteer village units and permits obtained,” a release stated. “For now we are collecting hygiene kits (these can contain toothpaste), new underwear and socks, tennis shoes, diapers, formula, non-perishable food, cleaning supplies to include large sponges, large heavy trash bags, brooms, mops, 5 gallon bucket, dust masks, safety glasses, work gloves, cleaning gloves (kitchen latex), tarps, pry bars (for removing sheetrock), square shovels, wheelbarrows, pressure washers (gas), and gas powered generators.”

Individuals can drop these items off at the Jamestown OGT warehouse at 103 4th Avenue SE Monday through Saturdays from 9 AM to 12 PM. To coordinate a different time, individuals can call Sue Corwin 701-320-3259 or Carmen Larson 269-6555.

OGT says the cost to transport one truckload is $6,000, so financial donations will help too. Visit ogt.org or send a check to Orphan Grain Train, P.O. Box 1466, Norfolk, NE 68702.
