American Red Cross Comfort Kits Service

The American Red Cross is always in need of what they
call "Comfort Kits" that they give out to people when
they respond to emergency situations (house fires, flooding,
etc).
The American Red Cross will supply you with the bags
- all you have to do is fill them. This is a great project that
multiple people can do together.
Here are the items that are part of the Comfort Kits

regular size and not samples or hotel/motel items):
Shampoo / Deodorant / Bar of Soap / Flouride Toothpaste
