She Organized 10,000 Packages for Prisoners of War From Her Kitchen | Military History Talks

America, 1942–1945. Agnes Morrison — different Agnes, same war — was 58 and had bad knees. She sat at her kitchen table in Minneapolis and organized. Every week. She coordinated donations across her neighborhood, her church, three other churches, a factory women's group, and eventually a network spanning four states. She sourced, sorted, packed, and shipped through the Red Cross over 10,000 individual packages to prisoners of war. Never the same package twice — she researched what was actually needed and what was actually allowed, updated her lists constantly, tracked what got through and what didn't. POWs wrote back sometimes — letters filtered through neutral countries. She kept every one. When asked how she'd built such a network from a kitchen table, she said: "I asked people. Most people want to do something. They just need someone to tell them what and how. I knew what and how."
