Staff unloaded 1 trailer from Ohio, 4 trailers from Wisconsin, 1 trailer from Pennsylvania, 3 U-Haul trucks from Pennsylvania, and quite a few cars, pickup trucks, and a church bus filled with donations for Lutheran World Relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 100,000 pounds of donated materials were received in one day. Even though it was a lot of hard work, there was much happiness as we need these donations so Lutheran World Relief can fulfill requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday we received a trailer load from Illinois with 17,500 pounds of Lutheran World Relief donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, we unloaded a half trailer full of Lutheran World Relief donations from Pennsylvania as well as a 20-foot U-Haul truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, driver Ed Palsgrove planned to pick up donations for Church World Service from western Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the donors and everyone who works to make this an amazing and wonderfully cooperative endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8212; Loretta Wolf is director of Material Resources for the Church of the Brethren. The Material Resources warehouse is at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., where the program processes, warehouses, and ships relief goods on behalf of a number of ecumenical partner organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources1-600px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources1-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources1-600px-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources1-600px-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources4-600px-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources4-600px-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources4-600px-1-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources4-600px-1-560x246.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources7-600px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources7-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources7-600px-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/MaterialResources7-600px-560x381.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/faithx-wraps-up-summer-of-service\/\">FaithX wraps up summer of service<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/health-care-education-scholarships\/\">Health Care Education Scholarships are awarded to nine recipients<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/ddr-update-termination-of-tps\/\">Deportation Defense Response Team provides update as termination of TPS takes effect<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/ancillary-insurances-available-via-eder\/\">Ancillary insurances available to Brethren church workers in 2027<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/germantown-hosts-training-program\/\">Germantown Church hosts new \u2018Building and Empowering Lay Leadership\u2019 training program<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday of this week was the busiest day at the Material Resources warehouse in years.
