One of our current mission projects is collecting and assessing Hygiene Kits. They will be taken to the location of Anual Conference in May and added to the efforts of many United Methodist Churches. They are intended to provide basic necessities to those who are most vulnerable during times of crisis. They are distributed during disasters, whether socia-economic or as the result of natural occurrence.
