St. Andrews UMC Donates Comfort Items to Local Disaster Clients

Pickens County, SC - St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Easley, South Carolina donated over 20 large comfort kits to the American Red Cross, Pickens County. These kits were full of comfort and hygienic items that individuals need after experiencing a disaster. Most of the time, the Red Cross provides these items when meeting with the clients at on scene at the time of the disaster. The kits contain soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, other hygiene items, washcloths and towels.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project!

We’ve already expended their generous donation due to the number of fires we’ve experienced in Pickens County during the past 2 months. If your organization would like to help, we really need new towels to supplement existing items we have in stock to make more kits. Please email Sarah Dow at DowS@usa.redcross.org or call her at 878-0131 if your group can help
