Do you ever wonder what happens with the quilts and kits that are sent to Orphan Grain Train or Lutheran World Relief?  Orphan Grain Train supports disaster and poverty area around the world and also within the United States.  Lutheran World Relief supports disaster and poverty area in foreign countries.  Lutheran World Relief Posters of each organization are posted on the LWML wall in the narthex and they show you where quilts and kits were sent last year.
