Haiti Health Kits
Note: As of Monday, January 25, we have collected 133 health kits for Haiti.
Thanks to all who continue to support this effort.

We are collecting health/emergency kits for the crisis in Haiti. If you would like to help, please collect all items and put inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag:

• 1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", 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-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
• 1 toothbrush (single adult brushes only in original wrapper)
• 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

NOTE: UMCOR is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before it is sent. Please include $1 for each kit you send toward the purchase of toothpaste.)

Important Kit Assembly Information

• All items included in kits must be NEW items.
• All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items - nothing more.
• Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

Please bring your completed kits to the church office.
