Global H.O.P.E. Kit Matching Grant Application
Description
Following domestic and international disasters, the need to distribute specific material aid is often crucial to the recovery process. UCC Disaster Ministries, UCC Conferences and congregations support these efforts by assembling Church World Service Welcome Backpacks, Hygiene Kits, School Kits, Period Packs (Menstrual Hygiene Kits) and Clean Up Kits that are stored and can be shipped at a moment's notice. In an effort to support Church World Service in restocking these kits, UCC Disaster Ministries is offering matching grants of up to $250 per congregation on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualifying applicants.
Members of the denomination can assist disaster relief efforts by assembling various kits that are warehoused by CWS, ready to be shipped at a moment's notice when the need arises. The Disaster Ministries team is hoping the financial aid offered to congregations will kick start a church-wide effort to restock these much-needed supplies.
There are multiple CWS Kits to choose from that serve different needs in various situations:
Period Packs (Menstrual Hygiene Kits)
Visit Church World Service to find shipping and donation instructions at: http://cwskits.org for more details.
Do not enclose money inside the kits or in the shipping boxes.
