As you might imagine, the people of Haiti are in need of very basic supplies. Here’s a very practical way you can help — pack a hygiene kit for the Global Aid Network (GAiN). It’s simple. Here’s what you do:

Fill a 2-gallon zip-top bag with these NEW items:
Hand towel
Wash cloth
Toothpaste (4.6 oz or larger)
Bar of soap (in original package)
Comb
Wet wipes
Shampoo
Bandages (travel size or larger)
Tissues-2 travel packs
Feminine pads (travel pack)
$5 to assist with shipping

Completed kits can be dropped off at Hosanna! in Lakeville, MN, until Sunday, February 14. You can also mail your completed kits to:

Global Aid Network Distribution Center
1506 Quarry Road
Mount Joy, PA 17552

If you would rather not build the kits, you can make a $25 donation to help GAiN purchase supplies for and ship hygiene kits. Go to www.gainusa.org.

GAiN is the relief and development arm of Campus Crusade for Christ International.

For those of you who attend Hosanna, don’t forget that there will be a special offering for Haiti at services next weekend. The funds will be distributed to Compassion International, used for packaging meals at Hosanna on Saturday, March 6 and invested in mission teams that will be sent to Haiti in the future.
