STEWARDSHIP
OUTREACH
BELOW
ARE THE CORRECT ITEMS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE
KITS. THE LIST IS INCORRECT IN THE TLCW BOOKLET.
PERSONAL
(HEALTH) KITS are being collected for Lutheran World
Relieve. A personal kit can help women, children, and men who
are refugees and must flee their homes quickly and often do not have
time to pack essential items. These kits help maintain
personal hygiene while living in exile.
Each kit should include the following items:
o 1 light to medium weight, bath-size
towel (approx. 52x 27 or smaller), dark color
recommended.
o 2 bath-size bar of soap (4 to 5 oz),
any brand, in original packaging.

packaging (Toothbrush multi-packs may be sued by sealing an individual
toothbrush in a business-size
envelope; no plastic bags or wrap.)
o 1 sturdy comb (wide tooth preferred)
o 1 metal nail clippers with or without
file attached
Please wrap all items in the towel, tie securely with a
ribbon or yarn.
SEWING
KITS Teach a person to sew and youve given them
tools they can use to earn an income, support their family, and break
out of poverty. Many of the thousands of Fabric Kits LWR
distributes are used in vocational training programs to teach young men
and women useful and marketable sewing skills.
Two pieces of cotton or cotton-blend fabric (no knits or 100%
polyester). Each piece should match one of the sizes below:
2¼ yards of 60 wide fabric, or

Two spools of neutral-colored, general purpose thread,
250-300 yards each
Fabric should have no stains or holes. Pieces do not need to match in
size or color/pattern. Fold thread and one piece of fabric inside

of fabric. Do not enclose the Fabric Kit or any of its contents in a
plastic bag.
