April Mission Collection

Hygiene Kits for Church World Service

Beginning April1st through April 29th our church will again be collecting Hygiene Kits for Church World Service as part of their Emergency Response Program. Hardly a day has gone by this year that we have not heard about the devastating floods, tornadoes, fires, and other disasters that have occurred across our country. Some people losing everything overnight. A hygiene kit containing everyday essentials is a small package that can make a meaningful difference in their lives offering comfort and a fresh start each day.

Supplies Needed:

  • Pack these items in a 1-gallon resealable bag.
  • One washcloth
  • One fingernail or toenail clipper
  • One bath-size bar of soap in the original package
  • One toothbrush in the original package
  • One travel size deodorant stick (3.4 oz or less, non-aerosol)
  • One travel-size lotion (3.4 oz or less fragrance free)
  • One travel size shampoo (3.4 oz or less)
  • One travel size toothpaste (3.4 oz or less with an expiration date of at least one year out)
  • One sturdy wide-tooth comb (remove from package, must have at least 6 inches of teeth. Rattail combs and combs without handles are acceptable)

If you don’t wish to purchase the items listed above, a monetary donation would be appreciated. There is a $2.00 shipping fee for each kit. The completed Kits can be placed in the Collection Box in the sanctuary.
