UMCOR for April

Each month before Annual Conference, we are collecting a different kit to bring down. In March we collected school kits. In April we are collecting health kits. ALL items must be new.

Place these 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
$1.00 to purchase toothpaste

For detailed instructions please go to UMCOR. Note: they are no longer collecting kits for Nicaragua as the UMC has entered an agreement with a company called Cross International that makes getting items there must less expensively. Items can still be donated when there is a mission trip going down there though.
