Sharing Gifts of
Extraordinary Love
Pens and pencils, a toothbrush, a quilt
ordinary items we take for granted
become treasures in the hands of their
recipients. The items you send with
Lutheran World Relief will be cherished
and used by people who take nothing
for granted, for whom even a simple bar
of new soap is special. What to include
in a personal care kit:
GET TO KNOW:
GETHSEMANE PRAYER ROOM
Be still and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10
One light-weight bath-size towel (between
20"40" & 52"27"), dark color recommended
Two bath-size bars (4 to 5 oz.) of soap, any
brand, in original wrapping
One adult-size toothbrush in its original
packaging (Toothbrush multi-packs may be
used by sealing an individual toothbrush in a
business-size envelope; no plastic bags or
wrap)
One sturdy comb, remove packaging
One metal nail clippers (attached file
optional), remove packaging
Wrap all the items in the towel and tie securely
with ribbons or yarn. Look for the washtub in
the west hallway for your donations.
We can make a difference!
