UMCOR SCHOOL AND HEALTH KITS

Our UM Women will be collecting items this year for both the UMCOR Health Kits and the UMCOR School Kits.  We will again have a VIM (Volunteers in Mission) group from
our church who be driving the donations to the UMCOR depot in Salt Lake City, UT.

As in the past, please only donate NEW items listed below – some countries have strict rules governing what we are allowed to send.  If you would prefer, monetary donations are accepted that we will use to purchase material for school bags, donation towards toothpaste, or the $1 UMCOR requests.  If you have more questions, please contact UMW President, Suzanne Ward.

If you like to sew, we still need some volunteers to help with the school bags. We have been given strict dimensions for these, so please contact Eleanor Giusti for more details.

This are the items that go into each kit, however please feel free to donate all, some, couple, few of the items.  In other words, we appreciate your donations!!
