Haiti Health Kit details

Value: $12 per kit

 

KIT CONTENTS

Place these NEW items inside 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

(NOTE: UMCOR is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before it is sent. Please include $1 for each kit you send toward the purchase of toothpaste.)

 

Important Kit Assembly Information

All items included in kits must be NEW items.

All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items—nothing more.

Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

 Find a United Methodist Church near you and drop off the items needed for kits or completed kits . . . we need $1.00 for toothpaste AND $1.00 for processing AND some postage money if you can help with those, too.

UMCOR’s Mission Central reported today that they have shipped medical equipment and supplies worth about $33,000 to Project CURE, and UMCOR Health Kits for Haiti worth $243,000 - yes, over 1/4 of a million dollars! This shipment went to Sager Brown.  These supplies are being distributed, and the need for more health kits is ongoing.
