Church World Service Kit Program

School Kits
Hygiene Kits
Baby Kits


Church World Service Kits are small packages of supplies assembled by volunteers and shipped to people in need around the world. CWS provides School Kits, Hygiene Kits, Baby Kits, and Emergency Clean-up Buckets. The contents of each Kit have been selected with care based on years of experience to make them as useful as possible, wherever and whenever they are sent. Kits may be sent to Church World Service all year. Your continuing support of this program is very important and helps to ensure Kits are available for immediate response after a disaster in another part of the world or here in the U.S. Thank you for giving from the heart!! For more information about the Church World Service Kit Program, please call the CWS Wisconsin Regional Office toll free at 1-888-297-2767 (in Wisconsin) or 1-608-222-7008.
