School and Health Kits
UMCOR Emergency Kits, such as Health or School Kits, are an additional way to participate in ministry in Haiti. Kits supply essential items for everyday living and are a visible sign of your care and support for people who struggle to obtain simple subsistence items we take for granted.
Assembling kits is a simple and fun way to have a hands-on volunteer mission experience, right in your own church.
