Here are some ideas for serving in your local community. Tell us what you are doing to serve, send a picture or two and we will share them with others.
EMERGENCY CARE KITS
These kits are designed for those who have to visit a hospital emergency ward unexpectedly and who are there for some time without personal items like a toothbrush, comb, etc. Emergency Care Kits will be gathered for the 2012 LWML–Canada convention in Kelowna but they are for a shelter and will be different from these. Check the Convention page on this website for details.
