Help For Haiti

Ardmore Presbyterian Church will continue receiving offerings to be directed to Haiti relief through PDA. Please make checks out to APC and memo: Haiti Relief.

With gratitude,

the Mission Awareness Committee.

Want a more “hands on” way to help?

We need your help to make one or more kits to send to Haiti through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

Hygiene Kit

1 hand towel- approx. 16” x 28”

(no fingertip or bath towels)

1 washcloth

1 wide-tooth comb

1 nail clipper (no metal files or emery boards)

1 bar of soap (bath size in wrapper)

1 toothbrush (in original packaging)

6 Band-Aids or other adhesive bandage strips. Please do not add toothpaste. Toothpaste which has an extended expiration date will be added to Hygiene Kits just prior to shipment. Seal all items in a one-gallon plastic bag with a zipper closure.


Baby Kit

6 cloth diapers*

2 t-shirts or undershirts (no onesies)

2 washcloths

2 gowns or sleepers

2 diaper pins

1 sweater or sweatshirt

2 receiving blankets (one can be a knitted or crocheted baby blanket)

All items should be new and under 12 months in size. Wrap items inside one of the receiving blankets and secure with both diaper pins.

*Note: While cloth diapers are not as commonly used in the United States, they are a necessary part of the layette. 12-packs of cloth diapers can be purchased at Target and Kmart stores or may be purchased online at one of the following sites: CottonBabies.com, ClothDiaper.com, BabyBestBuy.com, ThanksMama.com.


PLEASE BRING COMPLETED KITS TO THE CHURCH OFFICE

Thank you!!!
