Haiti Hygiene Kits

PERSONAL HYGIENE KITS FOR HAITI

The recent earthquake has created a great need for personal hygiene kits, and the current supply will be quickly exhausted. We are requesting individuals and community organizations to assemble kits in the weeks ahead.

Each kit should include:

1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27")
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file (no fingernail clippers, emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

PLEASE NOTE: You no longer need to include toothpaste in the Hygiene Kits because the Sager Brown depot (where the kits are stored before being shipped to Haiti) is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.

All items must be NEW. Place items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag.

Important: Please do not include any religious, political or patriotic notes or emblems in any kit.

You may drop off completed kits AND individual items for kits at the Broad St. UMC, 74 N. Broad St., Norwich
