Hygiene Kits and School Kits
It’s time for the annual project for Mission Kits and we need your help! Our 7th/8th grade Sunday School class is collecting items for hygiene and school kits for Church World Service. These kits are distributed throughout the United States and abroad to those in need.
Place all donated items in the Donation Station located in the hallway near Sybil's office.
This year our goal is 60 kits and which we meet or exceed by a few. Lets make it a banner year for this Church and see if we can far surpass that number!
SCHOOL KITS:
After our fall collection of school kits we are still in the need of the following items to complete them (quantities needed in bold):
- 156 - Notebooks-spiral bound ~ 70 sheets only
- 19 - Blunt tip scissors ~ only
- 2 - Crayons ~ 24 count
- 27 - Pencil sharpeners ~ hand held
- 31 - Rulers
- 5 - Erasers
- 68 - Pencils No. 2
HYGIENE KITS:
- 58 - New hand towels
- 56 - Toothbushes
- 44 - New combs (wide tooth only)
- 46 - Bars of soap (bath size only)
- 59 - Nail clippers (not emery boards or metal files)
- 324 - Band-Aids (1" x 3" only)
(Toothpaste is no longer required for the hygiene kits. Due to the expiration date on the tubes, CWS will add toothpaste just prior to shipment.)
All items are due no later than Sunday, February 28, so we can take inventory and purchase items that were not donated. And of course, cash donations are always appreciated so that we can purchase items to complete these kits. Checks should be made payable to Women's Fellowship with a memo of "hygiene & school kits".
*** CWS is specific in the items they include with the kits. Please purchase only items as noted above. ***
Please contact Sybil at ChristianEd.drcc@snet.net with any questions.
