We are on the HOME STRETCH for finishing 2 relief kits for displaced Iraqis.
Alright...so by now you should know that MCC is in need of relief kits.
We are curently on track to make 2 kits...bellow you'll see what is needed yet to fill them. Please feel free to donate any amount of the items, don't feel you need to get as many as it says there as every bit counts! However, please do think about giving something as I'm sure if you were ever in a horrible situation where you depended on the generosity of others it would mean a lot to you!
Items in green have been donated (thank-you to all who have given). Items in Red are still needed.
If you'd like to give money, you can do that as well and I'll go purchase items with it.
Here's what's needed for 2 kits.
- 8 bars of soap
- 2 squeeze tube toothpaste minimum 130 ml/6oz
- 8 adult size toothbrushes leave in package
- 2 boxes adhesive bandages minimum 40, assorted
- 2 plastic bottles Shampoo 450-830 ml/13-24oz; place in plastic bag
- 2 packages sanitary pads 18-24 thin maxi or ultra thin
- 2 Hairbrushes
- 2 Wide tooth combs
- 2 finger nail clippers
- 20 cups powdered Laundry detergent double bag in 4 litre re-sealable plastic bag
- 8 NEW bath towels med. weight, not white
The kits will be going to Iraq. Close to 500,000 Iraquis have fled their homes for other areas and internal displacement is continuing at a rate of 50,000 people per month.
Let's help them as we're able!

I'll start us off by putting Char and I down for the laundry detergent. 1 box of detergent is good for a couple kits so that's where we'll start!
ok i'll get 8 toothbrushes
Alright, so James just raised the bar and put us on track right now to make at least 2 kits...who's next?
I'll take the band-aids
Was that 1 or 2 boxes of band-aids Jordan?
imma gonna get 8 bars 'o' soap!!
aight.
i'll get two, as that looks like people are aiming for
what's going on?
To Mark (and anyone else confused): We're making relief kits for MCC to send to Iraq. Currently we're on track to make two. What you do is pick an item (or more) that you'll get for the kit. We'll put them together at Bible Study on Thursday.
So, still needed(as of when I was typing this) to finish 2 kits are...
2 tubes of toothpaste
2 bottles of shampoo
2 packages of sanitary pads
2 hairbrushes
2 combs
2 nail clippers
and 8 bath towels.
If you'd rather give some money that works too...I'll use it to go buy stuff.
Thanks to all who are helping!
i can drop off two tubes of toothpaste on thursday. i have them now and they are massive. If the ship "The Titanic" was actually a tube of toothpaste and not really a ship, it would definitely be one of these tubes of toothpaste right here.
if you purchase the rest of the stuff you need, I'll pay for it.
