Burbank’s Boy Scout Troop 201 is helping Haiti by putting together basic needs kits, and they need your help. You can help by bringing donations and packing individual basic needs kits this Wednesday, Jan. 27 from 7-8 p.m. This is a great way to rally as a community and help Haiti, and it also teaches kids the importance of helping those in need. Consider donating goods this week.

More from Burbank Wire:

“For people who are feeling powerless in being able to help those in Haiti, providing health kits is a tangible way they can make an immediate difference,” said Kathy Kraiza, director of UMCOR’s relief supplies. She estimates that hundreds of thousands of kits will be needed in the days and months ahead.

Please HELP Burbank’s Boy Scout Troop 201 help the people of Haiti with donations and packing of individual basic needs kits to ship through UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) to Haiti. We’ll meet in Fellowship Hall (in the back of the church) in the Magnolia Park United Methodist Church on Magnolia and Catalina Blvds to receive donations and pack the individual kits.

Donations needed (NEW items only):

1 hand towel (15” x 25” up to 17” x 27”. No kitchen towels.

1 washcloth

1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)

1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)

1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)

1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)

6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

$1.00 to purchase toothpaste

$1.00 to help with shipping costs to Haiti

We also need gallon size plastic bags for packing of the individual basic-needs-kits and cash donations to help us ship these kits to UMCOR to ship to Haiti.
