Care Kits
Throughout the year we collect items that go into various kits that are then shipped around the world to help those that are in need. Below is a list of kits and the items that go into them. You may choose to take an entire list and shop for them all or you can purchase a few items from time to time that we can complete kits with. Please contact pastordebbie@wvcn.org to arrange drop-off of the items. Click the title of each list to download a printable copy.
You may gather NEW items in the exact quantities/sizes below and place them into a 2 or 2.5-gallon Zip Loc bag if you have one. The contents must be exact as they will be refused by customs if they deviate at all from the required list. Every item must be included. If you prefer, we can shop for you if you would like to place a donation at the ONLINE GIVING link above and place your donation amount on the Crisis Care Kits line.

Requires some sewing skills, instructions for making Peri Pads for Cervical Cancer Care Kits, you will need the following…
· Two patterns: 1) 4½” X 18 “ and 2) 4½” X 10”
· Heavy absorbent flannel (Darker colors will be helpful when reusing pads. Wash before assembling the pads)
· PULS (polyurethane laminate–used to make baby diapers).
Each pad will contain two outer layers of flannel (4½” X 18”). In between the two outer layers will be 2 inner layers (4½” X 10”) sandwiched with one PULS (4½” X 10”). The inner layers will be in the middle of the longer outer layers. It is easier to use a serger to stitch around the outer edges and trim if needed. Keep in mind that these pads need to be comfortable to wear. When the pads are complete you will want to sew through the pad beginning and ending with the shorter part of the pad to keep it in place when it is washed. There should be 5 pads per kit.
Please also include in the kit:
- 2 women’s briefs sized 6-9. The people in PNG are generally smaller. Please label the size of the briefs on the outside of the bag containing the kits.
-One large bar of soap
-One wash cloth
-2 one gallon plastic zip lock bags.
-An inspirational card (can be handmade) or a small piece of card stock. You can use a Scripture or a prayer and just a kind word.
-a drawstring bag (can be handmade), approximately 13″ x 18” with a nylon polyester braided corded drawstring which will hold up with continued use.
