UCF has been contacted by various campus groups, staff and faculty. We will attempt to list events we know when they have been shared with us. If you want something shared, please email us at leader@campus-ministry.org
Donations accepted – Donations should be made directly to first responders. Charitywatch.org has compiled a list of the best agencies to make these donations toward. Donations to UCF marked Haiti will not go to current relief efforts, but will be used for Haiti disaster response teams from UNC Charlotte and Central Piedmont Community College. Therefore, if you wish your donation to work immediately, the two agencies above along with groups like the American Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders are suggested.
Health Kits. Stay connected with UCF for drop off locations and times.
Place these items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag.
- 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
(NOTE: UMCOR Sager Brown is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)
Important Kit Assembly Information
- All items included in kits must be NEW items.
- All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more.
- Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
