5,760 CWS Hygiene Kits. Shared with care.

Because of your generosity, CWS Hygiene Kits have been delivered to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana Inc.—each one filled with simple essentials that restore dignity and bring comfort in uncertain moments.

A bar of soap. A clean towel. A toothbrush.
Small things most of us don’t think twice about—together, they offer something powerful: a fresh start.

When you give, you help make sure these essentials are ready when someone needs them most.

💙 Your gift helps provide these essentials when they are needed most: https://cwskits.org/donate/

This is what generosity looks like. This truck is filled with more than boxes.

It’s filled with compassion, care and the faithful work of congregations and volunteers who continue showing up for neighbors facing difficult moments.

Thank you for helping share CWS Kits where they’re needed most.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💛 Today, we celebrate mothers, caregivers and all those who wrap others in love.

We’re grateful for the congregations hosting a CWS Blanket offering today — and every Sunday throughout the year — helping Blanket the World in Love through their generosity.

Thank you for sharing comfort, care and compassion with neighbors near and far.

When you assemble CWS Period Packs, you’re helping girls in the United States show up to school and daily life with confidence—because they have what they need.

It’s a simple, hands-on way to make a real difference.

💛 Volunteer Spotlight: Burt & Helen

For more than a decade, Burt and Helen have helped lead a dedicated community of volunteers through Southern Ohio & Kentucky Brethren Disaster Ministries. Together, their team assembles thousands of CWS Kits each year—sharing hope with families recovering from disaster.

“Each kit means hope for a family starting recovery,” they shared.

Thank you, Burt and Helen—and all of CWS’s dedicated volunteers—for your faithful leadership and for showing how a community working together can make a lasting difference.
