UMCOR Hygiene Kits

     The United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) works diligently to help communities after disasters. Having supplies available in their warhorses to be shipped immediately to communities following tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and other disasters allows for an immediate response to these communities.

Hygiene kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition, and cooking classes.
