Dear Pawhuska 1st Family,
As I shared a few days ago we have been asked to put together hygiene kits. Capitol Hill Baptist Church has a gymnasium with showers which they are making available to those in need. The idea for the hygiene kits is people can receive one when they come and make use of these showers. The items needed in each kit are standard toiletry items: soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, deodorant, etc., anything that you would normally use. These items can be placed in a gallon-size ziploc bag.
Other items that will be needed are plastic storage tubs -- people are finding some of their belongings and are being given other items, but have no where to keep them. Also useful are 5-gallon buckets with lids--these proved to be very helpful during the wildfires this summer and I am sure would be now as well.
I am planning on leaving Saturday morning so we need to have everything together by Friday afternoon. If you are unable to participate at this time do not feel bad for I am sure there will be other opportunities down the road. Thanks to all who are helping with this project.
Above all that we do we must pray. Pray for God to bless these families who have experienced loss. Pray for the volunteers and relief teams. Pray for the 1st responders. Pray for the churches in the area who are ministering to their communities. Pray for God's direction for how we can help and that He alone will receive the glory through all the work to be done.
In Service for Him,
Bro. Jeff Laughlin
