Crisis Care Kits

Crisis Care Kits (CCKs) continue to meet needs around the world.  Nazarenes donated 53,000 CCKs in 2004!  The kits went to Armenia, Iran, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Republic of Georgia, the Ukraine, and the United States.  In early 2005, over 16,000 CCKs were sent to the Asia tsunami area. 

Coming up with at least 50 CCKs by the end of October 2005, is part of Nanaimo Church of the Nazarene's 50th Anniversary Project.  Each kit will cost from around $10 to $20 to put together.  In addition, a $2/per kit donation will be helpful to offset shipping costs.
