Crisis Care Kits
Practical ministry for domestic and abroad
What Are Crisis Care Kits?
Crisis Care Kits provide basic necessities to those who are displaced following a disaster. Thousands of Crisis Care Kits are made, stored, and distributed globally each year as needs inevitably arise around the world. Crisis Care Kits are made by Nazarene volunteers and are a tangible way that people can get involved in the disaster response process.
How Can I Participate?
We encourage families and individuals to pack Crisis Care Kits in their home and bring them to the Bethany First Church North Entrance. Crisis Care Kits also make a great missional opportunity for a neighborhood or community group! When purchasing and packing Crisis Care Kit materials, please follow these guidelines.
