  Volunteers and Health Kits
 

According to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief), there will be a great need for volunteers to help rebuild once the initial crisis is past, but it is not safe or possible for volunteers to go to Haiti at the present. However, UMCOR’s two relief supply warehouses are asking United Methodists to provide health kits that will be sent to Haiti and Chile.. Instructions for assembling and shipping health kits are available here.

NEW items are to be placed in a sealed one-gallon plastic bag and include the following!

  • ·  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 brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
  • ·  6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
  • ·  $1.00 to purchase toothpaste
   
  Donations
  Donors may also contribute by placing a check in the offering plate or drop off at the church office.. Checks should indicate “Advance #418325” in the memo line for Haiti relief and 'Advance #3021178' for Chile relief.   We are grateful that donations continue to come in online. To donate online to Chile, click here. and to Haiti click here.
   
 

During this time of pain and suffering, let us take comfort in the promise of Psalm 46:1, NSRV

 
 
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
