EMERGENCY HEALTH KITS FOR HAITI
For individuals wishing to contribute basic necessities, UMCOR requests that the following NEW items be placed in a sealed one-gallon plastic bag:
- 1 hand towel (15"x25" up to 17"x27". No kitchen towels.)
- 1 washcloth
- 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
- 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
- 1 bath-sized bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
- 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-sized brushes)
- 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
- $1.00 to purchase toothpaste (toothpaste is purchased in bulk and added to health kits to ensure that the product does not expire before it is sent.)
Because emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations and strict rules govern product entry into international countries, UMCOR requires that the kits contain only the requested items - nothing more.
Please bring your health kits to the donation room in the church office. We will ship them to the UMCOR collection center on Thursday, January 28, and again on Thursday, February 4.
