(Friends, while the appeal below is especially for School Kits, Baby Kits, and Emergency Clean-up Buckets, CWS continues to also need additional Health Kits and Kids Kits. All "Gift of the Heart" Kits are very welcome and needed. Thank you.)
Needs stemming from the May 27 Indonesia earthquake, the earthquake in Southern Asia in October 2005 and the hurricanes that affected the United States in the summer of 2005 are prompting Church World Service to urgently ask its member denominations to help replenish CWS's supply of CWS "Gift of the Heart" Baby and School Kits and CWS Emergency Clean-up Buckets.
A supply of the Kits and Buckets is necessary in preparing for what is predicted to be another busy hurricane season. Visit the CWS Kits website for instructions for assembling and shipping CWS Kits.
Funds for Processing/Shipping and Purchasing Kits:
Funds are needed to cover sorting, packing, and insurance, as well as shipping Kits and Buckets to their final destination. Please give at least $2 for each School, Health, or Baby Kit you send, and $3 for each Kids Kit or Clean-up Bucket.
You can make a donation to the "Gift of the Heart" Kits program online, or send your check or money order payable to Church World Service to:
