When Help is Needed — Hygiene Packs!

The Canterbury Benevolent Society is reaching out to the community to help us assemble 50 Hygiene packs for Church World Service (CWS). The kits include personal items most needed immediately by someone who has been displaced.


The following is a list of items in each hygiene kit:

  • Washcloth / Sturdy wide tooth comb (6“ minimum teeth)
    Note: CBS has managed to acquire enough
    combs and washcloths**
  • Adult Toothbrush in original packing, no multiple packs
  • Toenail clippers
  • Travel size deodorant
    (3.4 ounces or less, fragrance-free, non-aerosol)
  • Travel-size lotion
    (3.4 ounces or less, fragrance-free, NEW only)
  • Travel-size shampoo (3.4 ounces or less, NEW only)
  • Travel-size toothpaste
    (3.4 ounces or less, expiration date of 1 year or longer)
  • Please, no small hotel shampoos, etc!


We are looking for donations of any of these items — OR — monetary donations to help us purchase the items to make up these kits. Please text or call Judy Nelson @ 603-493-4207 if you want to help with this worthwhile project. We thank you in advance!


When California experienced wildfires and Florida was hit with another hurricane, did you feel like you wanted to “do something,” but didn’t know what? Here is your chance to help. CWS is often first on the scene when tragedies force people from their homes
