Reaching out to those affected by the Haitian earthquake

pam January 15th, 2010

Brethren Disaster Services has asked that we respond to victims of this week’s earthquake immediately with hygiene kits, even as longer term coordination of responses is being addressed.  (More information will be forthcoming.)

We’d like to collect items over the next two weeks to create these kits, which will be assembled by our children during the children’s church time the next two Sundays.  To contribute to the project, bring 3-5 of the following items on Jan. 17 or 24:
If your last name begins with:

A-F    –  hand towels (approximately  16″ x  28″ (no fingertip  or bath towels) and washcloths

G-K   –  wide-tooth combs; bundles of bandaids (6  in a bundle); a box of gallon  ziplock plastic bags

L-Q   — nail clippers and bars of soap (bath size, in wrapper)

R-Z     –  toothbrushes  (in original packaging)

Thank You!
