UNITED METHODIST COMMITTEE ON RELIEF
UMCOR HYGIENE KITS
Our United Women in Faith (formerly UMW) here at Crews are taking part in providing basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster. Hygiene kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition, and cooking classes.
If you would like to help with this project by donating an item(s) that could help those who are in dire need please see the list below. **Read it carefully as they can only send certain items with restrictions that go into other countries.
Our United Women in Faith group will do all the packing.** If you wish to help by providing an item(s) just bring them by the church or call the office (336-723-0237) and we will come pick it up.
