Recent devastating disasters, both at home and overseas, have disrupted the lives of countless people. You or your church can help restore hope and share the love of Christ by donating Gift of the Heart Kits or CoB Clinic Boxes.

You have the option of assembling a Emergency Clean-up Bucket, Hygiene Kit, School Kit, or Baby Kit. For instructions, go to: www.churchworldservice.org/kits

The CoB Clinic Box delivers basic medicines and supplies to overseas church-based clinics that serve the poor. For instructions, go to: www.interchurch.org/pdf/COBclinic.pdf

You could also organize a fund raiser or have a special collection for the Emergency Disaster Fund. Hold a flea market, bike-a-thon, hymn sing, bake sale, disaster relief auction -- the possibilities are endless.
