AUGUST 2017 MISSION FOCUS
HEALTH
 KITS

In the Face of natural disasters, violence, or grinding poverty Hygiene kits can mean the difference between sickness and health for struggling families. For several years, WUMC has gathered items for hygiene kits and this month we will be asking for your help in donating items from the list below. 
Your support makes a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people both here at home and around the world. Each kit represents a person whose life will be changed because of the simple items contained within. . 
•    One hand towel measuring approximately 15x20 to 16x 32 (no fingertip, bath, dish towel, or microfiber)
•    One Washcloth
•    One wide-tooth comb removed from the package
•    One finger nail or toenail clipper removed from the package
•    One bath size bar of soap in the wrapper
•    One toothbrush in the package
•    10 standard size Band-Aids

All items need to fit inside a one-gallon zipper closure bag with air removed. 
DO NOT add any extra items. DO NOT add any toothpaste. Toothpaste has an expiration date and would expire before possible delivery.
