EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

Faithful Servants,

On Sunday, May 17, we will enjoy an Italian feast, prepared by many of you. While you are preparing your offering for this meal, why not prepare a casserole for Emmanuel Dining Room in anticipation of our day to serve, May 27th. In 2026 we have prepared and served meals to an average of 162 hungry residents of Wilmington each month. These men, women and children continue to be “food challenged” and gives an opportunity to put into practice the words of Jesus, “Feed my sheep” and “Love your neighbor as yourself”. Place your casseroles in the freezer by Sunday, May 24, or even this week prior to our potluck meal.  We continue to need 2-3 volunteers to serve each month. Please let us know if you can assist. 

Thank you in advance for your on-going contributions to this great need. ~Dale & George

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.
