When Red Cross volunteers respond to those who have lost everything in a home fire, storm, or flood we provide the children with a items to comfort them and a few special gifts.
Can your organization help us replenish our supply of children's Comfort Kits?
Help bring comfort to children in our community, maybe even a child you know, following a disaster. It's simple, just collect items to create a child's “Comfort Kit,” and Red Cross will provide the bags that your team can use to put the kits together. These kits will help to provide the basic necessities and bring a smile to the face of a child following a disaster.
Below is a list of needed supplies and all can be purchased in smaller sizes:
- Children’s toothbrush
- Children’s toothpaste
- Children’s Shampoo/Conditioner (2-in-1)
- Children’s Body Wash
- Hairbrush/comb
- Washcloth
- Coloring book
- Crayons (small box)
- Stuffed animal (small)
**Please do not send hotel sizes.
Kits and other items can be picked up at your location or a time can be arranged to have the supplies dropped off at the Red Cross office.
