Urgent need for UMCOR Health Kits


Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster. Health kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition and cooking classes.

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
(NOTE: UMCOR Sager Brown 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.)
 
For more and details (including shipping information), please see the UMCOR health kit link.
