Church World Service Kits are small packages of supplies assembled by volunteers and shipped to people in need around the world. 

Did you know that CWS School Kits and Emergency Clean-up Buckets are especially needed right now?  You can help.  Here's a special bulletin insert to use in getting your congregation involved.

CWS provides School Kits, Hygiene Kits, Baby Care Kits, and Emergency Clean-up Buckets. The contents of each Kit have been selected with care based on years of experience to make them as useful as possible, wherever and whenever they are sent.

Kits may be sent to Church World Service all year. Your continuing support of this program is very important and helps to ensure Kits are available for immediate response after a disaster in another part of the world or here in the U.S. Thank you for giving from the heart!!
