Haiti Health Kits

We are all praying for the people of Haiti and those volunteers who have gone to help them. At this time, the United Methodist Church is collecting health kits for the people of Haiti. There are several ways to get them to the mission warehouse. One is to give them to a member of the Northeast District UMW Executive team who will get them to the proper place. Also, you can take them to Sonrise United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne.

Any of these supplies can be used or completed kits:
Health Kits - Suggested Shipping Donation $1.00
1 Hand Towel (not finger-tip or kitchen size)
1 Wash Cloth
1 Comb (regular size, not pocket size, no rat-tail combs, no barber combs; Suggestion-Little Goody 2 Pack)
1 Fingernail Clipper or File (no emery boards)
1 Bar of Soap (3 oz. or larger in original wrapper)
1 Toothbrush (in original wrapper) (no multiple packs)
1 Tube of Toothpaste (3.5 oz or larger, in original wrapper. Check expiration dates-must be at least ONE YEAR ahead.)
6 Adhesive Bandages (*Band-aids; no pictures or colors, regular size and wrapped in a rubber band)
Anne will take the supplies to MMDC for packing. Monetary contributions could be made directly to MMDC or $1 in completed kits. Whatever people want to do would be helpful at this point. I noticed that MMDC is in need of Health Kit Supplies as of December.
