Haiti Relief
During the month of February, Clarkston UMC will be collecting Health Kits for the purpose of assisting those in earthquake-devastated Haiti. UMCOR estimates that hundreds of thousands of kits will be needed in the days and months ahead. The kits, valued at about $12 per kit, contain everything from towels and washcloths to sterile bandages and bar soap. They will be distributed to those who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the recent disaster.

You may donate any of the following specified items which will be assembled into individual Health Kits OR donate a complete Health Kit by placing all of the specified items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag:
• 1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", No kitchen towels)
• 1 washcloth
• 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
• 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
• 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
• 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
• 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes)
• $1.00 to purchase toothpaste (NOTE: UMCOR is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)
