EMMANUEL DINING ROOM
The Apostle Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians,
“Let all that you do be done in love.”
To help the staff at EDR have the space and time to prepare to serve the hungry people of Wilmington on Thanksgiving day, we, and other groups, were asked to provide peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to be distributed at the door throughout the week.
On Sunday, thanks to many, Concordia Lutheran Church and Preschool dropped off 240 of the requested sandwiches at EDR.
Thank you again for lovingly sharing your blessings with others. And for sharing the love of Jesus - even if through a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Happy Thanksgiving!
God’s blessings, George and Dale
We sort and pack donations for people in need on Wednesdays 10:00am – 2:30pm and Saturdays 9am –1:30pm at the former Dansko warehouse: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Please consider joining us, we welcome teens through adults!
Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library or visit our webpage for the full list of items our recipients need most, current hours of operation, and the latest updates. You may also click ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN under the Concordia SERVICE tab for current news. Donated items should be placed in the All Saints' Hall closet (to the right as you enter the room).
Our most immediate need is for a new warehouse location as our lease expires in fall 2026! We prefer a southeastern Chester County location, or other safe neighborhood near the PA–DE state line, with 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft, a loading dock and parking for at least a dozen cars. If you have any information, please contact OGT volunteers Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.

Serving our community meals during the last full week of each month (January 26-30, 2026). The time commitment is usually 1 1/2 hrs. (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM). Please contact Susan Fuesler or email the office at info@concordiade.com. Meals are picked up at Silverside Church with directions for delivery route. Please consider volunteering; you will bless others and be greatly blessed as well!
Time. Talent. Treasure.
