Hygiene Kit Materials
When disaster strikes and our Sisters and Brothers are in time of tragedy, many of us want to “do something to help”. We put together hygiene kits this month to help provide care for the most vulnerable people during times of crisis. UMCOR collects hygiene, school, and cleaning kits for distribution within the United States. Kits help sustain everyday life for people who lack ready access to essential supplies when a disaster strikes.
