Emergency supplies needed

Five containers of emergency supplies are scheduled to go to Ukraine in the next couple of months, with more planned later this year. The containers will travel by ship to Rotterdam and then by truck through Germany, Poland and into Ukraine.

Ukraine has a massive need, and we need your help filling these containers. We have many comforters (thank you to our comforter knotting groups and individuals who have been sending us thousands of comforters). Still, we need relief kit supplies, hygiene kit supplies and especially soap. 

Relief kit supplies (new items only):

• 4 large bars bath soap (leave in wrapper)

• 4 adult-sized toothbrushes (in manufacturer’s packaging)
• 4 new bath towels (medium weight, dark or bright colours; approx. 75 cm x 150 cm)
• 2 wide-toothed combs (15–20 cm)
