Crisis Care Kits
Crisis care kits are distributed all over the world wherever people are in need of help after a natural or man-made disaster. The Philadelphia district of the church of the Nazarene works to keep our regional stock of prepared crisis care kits ready to ship on short notice when disaster strikes.
Below is a listing of the items that make up a Crisis Care Kit. Kits contain basic necessities, like a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, and even a small toy for young children who may have had to leave home with nothing. A CCK does not fix whatever tragedy the recipient may be enduring, but it is an important step back towards normalcy, and bears the message, "We see you, we care, and more help is on the way."
IMPORTANT!
It is important that *ONLY* the specific items and at the specific sizes are included in your Crisis Care Kit. Customs in receiving countries may reject entire shipments if the items are not as listed. Please include all of the items on the list, at these specific sizes, volumes, and quantities.
