Assembling CWS Hygiene Kits Sunday May 21

  • Pilgrim United Church of Christ 3011 Academy Road Durham, NC 27707 United States (map)

During our fellowship time all will be invited to help with a small but important service project. What better way to show our new members and key attributes of being part of PUCC. That being our care for our community both locally and worldwide.

This event doesn’t require heavy lifting, in fact if you can pick up items and put them in a Ziplock bag you are needed.

We will fill about 45 Hygiene Kits for CWS (Church World Services). The supplies have been obtained in part via our BCS (Board of Christian Service) funds and after applying for and receiving a grant from UCC.
 
There will be two types of Hygiene kits:

Menstrual Hygiene Kit – In many parts of the world, women and girls live in period poverty -lacking access to necessary feminine care supplies, during the menstrual cycle, these hygiene material are especially important. Not having supplies can create challenges that lead to unsafe and unsanitary conditions.

 Hygiene Kits – When people are forced to abruptly leave their homes because of emergencies, they may not have the time to pack the things they can uses on a daily basis like toothbrushes, soap, hand towel, washcloth and more. These kits offer a refreshing daily boost for someone when supplies are hard to come b
