Provide UMCOR Health Kits

UMCOR’s two relief supply warehouses are asking United Methodists to provide health kits that can be sent to earthquake-devastated Haiti.
 

The kits, valued at about $12 per kit, contain everything from towels and washcloths to sterile bandages and bar soap. They will be distributed to those who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the recent disaster.
 

Please place the following NEW items in a sealed one-gallon plastic bag.

· 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

NOTE: Toothpaste is purchased in bulk to be added to health kits to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.
 

Because the emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations and strict rules govern product entry into international countries, UMCOR requires that the kits contain only the requested items – nothing more.
