Drop-off Locations for Church World Service buckets, kits

The UCC Matching Grants for congregations assembling CWS Emergency Cleanup Buckets and other Kits are still available. UCC congregations may apply for up to $250 to supplement their own efforts to assemble these life-giving supplies.  Completed kits get warehoused, ready to send out on quick notice.

Priority is Emergency Cleanup Buckets, but other kits also are welcome.

Learn more about these kits: https://cwskits.org/assemble-kits/emergency-cleanup-buckets

Important:  It is important that you send the processing fees to CWS before dropping off your kits/buckets.  These fees are $2.00 each for kits and $3.00 each for buckets.  Please bring your receipts when you drop off your kits/buckets.  Thanks.

 

Take your pictures and record your stories and send them to kjones275@comcast.net, so we can inspire others with your story.
