Disaster Kits for Haiti

in

Hello everyone,
PCUSA is suggesting that those with a calling to do some stateside "hands on" work use their talents to assemble Disaster Assistance Kits that can be forwarded though PCUSA to Haiti.

If the spirit moves you here are the two kits that they need:

Hygiene Kit

1 - hand towel (approx 16 x 28 - no fingertip or bath towels)
1 - washcloth
1- wide tooth comb
1 - nail clipper ( no metal files or emery boards)
1 - Bar of Soap (bath size in wrapper)
1 - toothbrush (in original packaging)
6 - Band-Aids or other adhesive strips

Please do not add toothpaste. Toothpaste which has an extended expiration date will be added just prior to shipment. Seal all items in a one gallon plastic bag with a zipper closure.

Baby Kit

6 - cloth diapers
2- t-shirts or undershirts (no onesies)
2- washcloths
2-gowns or sleepers
2- diaper pins
1 - sweater or sweatshirt
2- receiving blankets

All items should be new and under 12 months of age in size. Wrap items inside one of the receiving blankets and secure with diaper pins.

I will put a box for the kits in the First Presbyterian Church Office.


Of course any monetary donations can be made out to First Presbyterian Church with "Haiti Earthquake Relief" in the memo line. We will send this money directly to our medical and nursing colleagues in Leogane, Haiti to assist with purchasing supplies for disaster relief. You may also contribute to the relief effort through our online gifts/payment page. Enter the amount in the "other" field and specify "Haiti Earthquake Relief"
