Emergency Appeal for CWS Kits Church World Service needs assistance in meeting the needs of those affected by Hurricane Ike and other disasters. In the last 30 days, CWS has provided dozens of shipments of CWS Blankets, CWS Hygiene Kits, CWS Baby Kits and CWS Emergency Clean-up Buckets. CWS Kits have helped flood survivors in Iowa, displaced persons from the Russia-Georgia conflict and Hurricanes Hannah, Gustav, and Ike. These items provide immediate, important relief to those coping with disaster. Displaced from their homes, disaster-affected individuals rely on CWS resources after being forced from their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. Preparing CWS Kits is a tangible way local churches, community groups and others may help people in need. All kits are assembled using common household items. Visit www.churchworldservice.org/kits to find out how to prepare and deliver help to someone in need. Contributions to support this and other CWS work can be made online; by calling 1-800-297-1516; or by mail to Church World Service, 28606 Phillips Street, P.O. Box 968, Elkhart, IN 46515.
