The Missions committee and the Youth Group will be assembling Hygiene Kits for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). We will be collecting donations of 1) items that go in the kits (see list below) or 2) monetary donations to purchase items. Donations should be labeled as Kits for Conference or Hygiene Kits.
Below is the list of items needed for the Hygiene Kits. UMCOR sends these kits around the world following disasters. For most items they are very particular about what they will accept. All items need to be new and unused. There will be a donation bin in Cokesbury Hall.
Last day for donations – May 22, 2022
