A busy week at the Material Resources warehouse

Material Resources staff at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., have been very busy with a number of recent shipments of relief goods:

The staff unloaded three 53-foot “piggyback” trailers from Portland, Ore., and Seattle and Spokane, Wash., filled with Lutheran World Relief donations of quilts and kits.

Two 40-foot containers were filled with medical supplies and equipment and shipped to Haiti and Tanzania on behalf of the Brothers Brother Foundation.

— 210 fleece blankets shipped to Arizona for a Border Shelter Response;

— 30 fleece blankets and 120 hygiene kits shipped to New York for refugee use;

— 100 wool blankets, 90 fleece blankets, and 36 period packs for houseless people in Arkansas;
