Urgent Need for School and Clean-Up Kits
This is to alert you to the fact that the CWS inventory of clean-up buckets and school kits is extremely low. The need is great - we are in the midst of tropical storm and hurricane season, when clean-up buckets often are requested, and CWS is getting numerous requests for the school kits as overseas partners prepare for the fall school year.
Thank you, in advance, for whatever efforts you can make to help increase CWS' clean-up bucket and school kit supply to help meet potential and existing requests.
