Church World Service disaster response kits are needed.

Church World Service (CWS), a longtime disaster relief partner of the Church of the Brethren, reported that it pre-positioned material resources and disaster relief kits at a warehouse in Ferncliff, Ark., in preparation for Hurricane Gustav. The agency is now prepared to fulfill requests from partners for CWS Emergency Blankets, Baby Kits, Hygiene Kits, and Clean-Up Buckets as needs arise.

Brethren are invited to help contribute kits to this response. Information about kit contents and directions for assembling kits are at www.churchworldservice.org/kits. Many of these kits are processed, warehoused, and shipped from the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md.
