The kits consist of:
1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 18" 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
1 single wrapped toothbrush
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
The items can then be put in a zipper plastic bag. Kits cost approximately $12.
More information about the relief effort is available at t UMCOR.org.
A box has been placed in the wrestling facility to hold the kits.
Donors may also give single items. Volunteers collecting the items will then sort them and fill them in with the other items needed.
