Enlightened Leaders - Active

Dear (Contact First Name), 

 

OutreachYesterday we let you know that our ministry will be coming together to offer support to those affected by the recent tornado in Joplin, MO. We are partnering with Heart to Heart International in the creation of Personal Care Kits.

 

Our goal is to create 1,000 Care Kits to send to the Joplin community and are asking for your assistance. 

 

The following is a list of the contents included in each kit. We invite you to purchase any of the items to help us reach our goal.

 

One new hand towel

One new wash cloth

One wide-tooth comb

One 10-15 ounce bottle of shampoo

One new, individually wrapped toothbrush

One 4-6 ounce tube of toothpaste

One individually wrapped bath-sized bar of soap

Ten (10) adhesive bandages

Two (2) one-gallon-size, zipper-seal plastic bags

 

In addition to the contents of the Care Kit, you can also consider the following: 

  • Visit your local grocer and ask for their supply of 'banana boxes', as all Care Kits must be packed in banana boxes only. We will need 100 boxes.
  • Donate your paper grocery bags, as they are needed to line the bottom of the banana boxes.
  • Consider making a financial donation to cover the cost of shipping. Each Care Kit costs $1.00 to ship. 

The Care Kit items, financial gifts and/or packing supplies can be dropped off at the church during the following hours, and must be received no later than June 2:

 

Thursday, May 26, 9am - 7:30pm

Friday, May 27, 9am - 6pm

Sunday, May 29, 7am - 1pm

Tuesday, May 31 - Thursday June 2, 9am - 7pm

 

There will be many opportunities for you to step into service as these items are received at the ministry. More information will be available following our celebration services this weekend. 

 

Everyone is invited to join together as a spiritual community on Sunday, June 5 following both 9 & 11 am celebration services to create and assemble the 1,000 Personal Care Kits. Please plan to join us as we come together in the spirit of "Touching Hearts, Changing Lives".

 

We thank you so very much for your generosity, your compassion, your prayers and the beautiful way that you continue helping us further the Vision and Mission of Unity Church of Overland Park!

 

In gratitude,

Rev. Eileen M. Stulak
