After Walls of Water, Hope:
Relief Shipment Planned
The United Methodist Committee On Relief has received appeals from its ecumenical partners for several kinds of emergency supplies. UMCOR's rule of thumb is to ship only those relief items that are specifically requested. A large shipment is being assembled now - and we know that United Methodists will want to help get our partners in the disaster-stricken areas what they need. UMCOR appreciates your generosity. You can help by donating specific goods and/or money.
-
Health Kits. Soap is the number one defense against bacterial disease. Prepare the kit according to the specifications or, in lieu of goods, UMCOR can receive donations of $12 per kit.
-
Layettes. Babies and their mothers will appreciate these items. Prepare the kit according to specifications or donate $10 per layette.
-
Medicine Boxes. One box of medicines, both prescription and over-the-counter, is enough to care for about 1,000 families for 3 months. Collect over-the-counter products and supplies and raise $375 to cover the costs of prescription medications or donate $425 per box.
-
Family Shelters. To be purchased in the stricken regions, these shelters cost $108 each. Each shelter contains a tent, tarp and ground cloth.
