UMCOR Menstrual Hygiene Kits Collection
During the month of April United Women in Faith will be collecting items for UMCOR Menstrual Hygiene Kits. These kits provide basic necessities to support vulnerable menstruating populations and are distributed by UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) during disasters, whether socio-economic or as the result of a natural occurrence.
Below is a list of items that are needed for each kit. You can bring the items for an entire kit or just bring one or two items (i.e. box of tampons or one pack of flushable wipes). We will assemble as many complete kits as we can and then the kits and any remaining items will be sent to one of UMCOR's supply depots for future distribution.
Please place the following items by the UWF table in the fellowship hall:
- One one-gallon size re-sealable bag
- Two 2 oz. bottles hand sanitizer
- Three 4-gallon bathroom trash bags
- One travel pack of wet ones
- 10 Tampons (5 regular and 5 super absorbency)--Unscented
