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\/discernment-and-calling-an-appeal\/\">Discernment and calling: An appeal for nominations for the Annual Conference ballot<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/disenman-ak-apel-yon-apel\/\">Dis\u00e8nman ak ap\u00e8l: Yon ap\u00e8l pou nominasyon pou bilten v\u00f2t Konferans Any\u00e8l la<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/discernimiento-y-vocacion-convocatoria\/\">Discernimiento y vocaci\u00f3n: Convocatoria para la presentaci\u00f3n de candidaturas para la votaci\u00f3n de la Conferencia Anual.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/help-shape-intergenerational-resources\/\">Help shape resources for intergenerational ministry: An invitation from Brethren Press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/ayude-a-dar-forma-a-los-recursos\/\">Ayude a dar forma a los recursos para el ministerio intergeneracional: Una invitaci\u00f3n de Brethren Press.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday of this week was the busiest day at the Material Resources warehouse in years.
