Coordinator: Health and Wholeness Ministry
Health and Wholeness Ministry assembles Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief (LWR).
These kits are distributed by LWR around the world, providing hygiene, dignity and hope to those in crisis situations. The kits are sent to areas of the world where an emergency has occurred, and people are left with very little. The kits supply basic items for survival.
Current Opportunities:
Lent and Easter 2025
It's that time of year again! The Health and Wholeness Committee is collecting items for Personal Care Kits. These basic items will be sent by LWR to designated areas around the world. These things are needed:
- TOWELS, 20" x 40"-27"x52". Light weight, dark colors. Need to be washed first.
- COMBS, large and sturdy. No pick combs
- METAL NAIL CLIPPERS, large size
