The Social Ministry Committee will begin collecting personal care kits on March 2. Once again, we will donate the kits to the First United Methodist Church in Sterling for distribution at their Food Bank and in conjunction with their Free Breakfast Program. The folks at First Methodist appreciate our desire to minister with them by supplying these kits!
Donations for this purpose are welcome if you prefer that the committee shop and assemble on your behalf. Please include these items in each of the kits:
- One nail file/emery board
- One sturdy comb
- One adult-size toothbrush in its original packaging*
- Two bath-size bars of soap in the original wrapping
- One small bottle of shampoo
- One full-size tube of toothpaste
- One light-weight bath-size towel (we recommend a dark color)
- One washcloth (again, we recommend a dark color)
*Toothbrush multi-packs may be used by sealing each toothbrush in a business-size envelope
Assembly instructions: Fold the towel in half. Place the remaining items in the towel, fold and roll so nothing falls out, and secure them with yarn, ribbon, string, or rubber bands.
