Support the Red Cross by building Comfort Kits!!!

The American Red Cross of Greater Indianapolis (ARCGI) gives out thousands of comfort kits each year to people who have been affected by disasters of all sizes. The kits include basic hygiene items to help meet people's immediate needs. Right now, our chapter is running low!
You can help by collecting the following items and donating them to the ARCGI:
  • Tooth Brush
  • Toothpaste
  • Razor
  • Deodorant
  • Shaving Cream
  • Kleenex
  • Small packs of Q Tips
  • Wash Cloth

All items should be travel or trial sized. Sometimes your local drug or grocery store might be willing to donate these items in bulk.

After you collect these items, if you or a group in your organization would be interested, you could make comfort kits! This would be a great service project that does not take up too much time and is pretty low-key. If you are interested, just contact Justin or Jillian at the FBCI and we will get you all the information you need!
