EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other, let us show the truth by our actions.” 1John 3:18     Psalm 10:14 reads, "The helpless put their trust in you.”

Faithful Servants,  Thank you once again for showing your love by providing a nourishing meal to 205 hungry people of Wilmington at the Emmanuel Dining Room.                                                                                                                                                                 

Your casseroles and brownies are always well received and the folks who dine there can always count on Concordia Lutheran Church and Preschool to feed them on the 27th of each month.                                                                                                                 Blessings to our cooks and bakers and to Kathee Butler and Jody Bacher for serving.

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.
