Harvest Presbyterian Church of Lancaster, 517 Beaver Valley Pike, Lancaster, is preparing to assemble and distribute hygiene kits through its national disaster response organization, Mission to North America (MNA) Disaster Response.

When floods, hurricanes, tornados, and other disasters strike, victims can lose everything, including basic items like toothbrushes, soap, and towels. Hygiene kits help those impacted by disaster to regain a sense of dignity.

Harvest Presbyterian will collect donations of specific items at the church on Mondays and Wednesdays between 9 a.m. and noon. The final assembling of the kits will be done in early October. Community members who would like to donate items may view a list of specific items at http://www.harvestchurchlancaster.org or by emailing the church office at officeatharvestpca@gmail.com.
