Haiti Needs Layette Kits
You can help!
Haiti now needs layette kits as reported by UMCOR - United Methodist Committee on Relief. Many babies have been born since the earthquake on January 12, 2010. The layette kits provide basic supplies for the newborns.
Listed below are the needed items:
6 cloth diapers
2 shirts or 2 one-piece body suits
2 baby washcloths
2 gowns or sleepers
2 diaper pins
1 sweater open in the front
2 receiving blankets
Bundle the items inside one of the receiving blankets and secure with the diaper pins.
IMPORTANT KIT ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
All items included in the kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items - nothing more.
Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
Your help and donations are greatly appreciated! Call Susan Lovelace-Gerrish at the church office, 830-278-3135, for further information.
