October 19, 2024 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

Shine.FM is collecting items to build Crisis Care Kits for hurricane relief in the southeast.

 

We will build the Crisis Care Kits (CCK's) this Saturday in the Shine.FM parking lot in Bourbonnais, IL. Here are the items needed:

 

Shampoo - 12-18 oz bottle. Tape flip-tops closed to prevent any leaking during shipping and handling. Do NOT include any medicated shampoo.

 

2 bars soap - bath size or larger in their own packaging.

 

1 medium toothpaste 4.0-6.4 oz. Expiration date should be at least 18 months out from date of packing.

 

3 toothbrushes in original packaging - Can be a 1, 2 or 3-pack. Do NOT cut open a package with more than 3 brushes because it breaks the seal.

 

1 box of Band-Aid type bandages, 30 or more (any brand) -- These may be in their own box or may be

packed individually in a zip-type bag if the bandages are individually wrapped and sealed.

Please use "regular" size bandages and not small or tiny ones.

 

1 fingernail clipper - Do NOT use toenail clippers or any clippers in a package with other items such as emery boards, etc. Clippers do not have to be in their own packaging.

 

1 sturdy hair comb - Include a SINGLE comb and not a package of combs. Use a size comb that will be suitable for all ages and hair type. Do NOT use small pocket combs, narrow styling combs, or combs that are thin and flexible/bendable.

 

2 hand towels - Do NOT use dish/kitchen towels. Do NOT use washcloths. In many other world areas

washcloths are not used. Towel size should be approximately 15"x28".

 

4 pocket-size packages of facial tissues - Do NOT include packages of more than 4.

 

1 Beanie-baby size stuffed toy -- It does NOT have to be Beanie-baby brand. Do NOT include any other type of small toy. Do NOT include a stuffed toy that is larger or smaller than Beanie-baby size.

 

All CCKs will be sent to Fawn Grove Compassion Center in Pylesville, MD for distribution to the southeast.
