HEALTH KITS FOR HAITI
Due to the crisis in Haiti, the Mission Committee has decided that Health Kits are one of the best ways to help these unfortunate people. We feel the fastest way to accomplish this will be if everyone puts together their own kits. The following are the items needed for each Health Kit. When you have finished making the kit(s), bring them to the church office.
Needed ALL NEW items:
1 - hand towel
1 - washcloth
1 - large, sturdy comb
1 - nail file or fingernail clipper
1 - bath-size bar of soap
1 - adult-size toothbrush
6 - adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
1 - $1.00 for toothpaste (UMCOR buys the toothpaste in bulk.)
PLACE THESE ITEMS IN A SEALED ONE-GALLON ZIP-TOP BAG
PLEASE PUT ONLY THE REQUESTED ITEMS.
ANYTHING ELSE WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED.
