Help Save Lives with Emergency Supplies Kids

Emergency kits are small packages of essential supplies assembled in the United States and shipped to people in need around the world.

Imagine being so poor that soap, washcloths, and school supplies are considered luxury items. Or being a refugee who has fled your home with only the items you carry in your hand. Or being the victim of a natural disaster. Many parishes, youth groups, and individuals want to do something tangible to help others. Assembling and sending emergency kits is a practical way to make life a bit better for someone in need.
