HURRICANE DISASTER RELIEF
(How You Can Help!)
1) Assemble Health/Hygiene Kits
Purchase and assemble the following items in a sealed one gallon plastic bag (money, notes or any other items should not go in the bag):
1 hand towel
1 wash cloth
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 brush only in original wrapper; no child-sized brushes)
1 large tube of toothpaste (4.5 oz or larger, with expiration date not sooner than March, 2006)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
2) Make a check out to Red Cross
3) Assemble Layette Kits
Because parents with young children need special items, purchase and assemble one or more “Layette Kits” containing the following items:
6 cloth diapers
2 diaper pins
2 shirts or 2 one-piece body suits
1 sweater – open in front
2 baby washcloths
2 receiving blankets
2 gowns or 2 sleepers
Make sure the kit contains exactly these items – additional items make the kit unusable
[Packing: Bundle the items inside one of the receiving blankets and secure it with diaper pins - packing a different way will make it unusable]
These can be dropped off at the many stations popping up all over America for the receipt of "hard goods".
