Haiti - Want to Help?

Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church (our partner for Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) is collecting health kits which will be transported to Haiti by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). If you would like to participate, please pack the objects listed below and bring them to the HPCT rehearsal hall on SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH between 7:00 and 10:00 pm. We will transport them to the UMCOR pick-up site.

The contents of the kits follow:
Please place these items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag:
1 hand towel (15”x25” up to 17”x27”, no kitchen towels)
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
Note: UMCOR is purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to the health kits before shipping. Please include $1 for each kit you send toward the purchase of toothpaste.

Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more. Do NOT include any personal notes, money (other than that listed above) or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
