Crisis Care Kit

CRISIS CARE KIT

1. Pack contents below into a clear 2.5-gallon plastic Ziploc bag and seal:
   • 1 medium-size bottle of shampoo (12-18 oz.), please tape flip-tops closed using heavy packing tape
   • 2 bars of soap (bath-size or larger in original packaging)
   • 1 medium toothpaste (4.0-6.4 oz.) Expiry date should be at least 18 months our from the time you pack the kit
   • 3 toothbrushes (in original packaging) Please do not use only children’s brushes.
   • 1 box of Band-Aids (30 or more)
   • 1 fingernail clipper (do not use toenail clippers)
   • 1 sturdy hair comb (do not use small flimsy combs)
   • 2 hand towels (approximately 15×28 inches, do not use kitchen towels)
   • 4 pocket-size packages of facial tissue
   • 1 Beanie Baby-size stuffed toy (approximately 6 to 8 inches tall)
2. Obtain the banana boxes from your local grocery store. Please ship CCKs solely in banana boxes, as they provide uniformity, eliminating wasted space in shipping.
3. Cut the heavy brown paper (usually found in the banana box) in half and place inside the bottom of the box. Tape the other half over the hole in the lid. (Plain cardboard may be used in the same way if your banana boxes are missing the paper.)
4. Fill each box with six (6) CCKs—no more, no less.
5. Do not insert money or literature (including anything with the church’s name on it, notes, etc.) in the CCKs or banana boxes.
6. When addressing the box, please put the name and address of the church (or individual donor) on the box in the “From” section and the address of the warehouse in the “To” section.
7. Do not wrap banana boxes in brown paper or contact paper or put filled banana boxes inside another box.
