This year’s mission challenge at Annual Conference will be to collect bulk items for Personal Dignity Kits for the Midwest Mission Distribution Center, our United Methodist disaster relief supply center just south of Springfield, Ill., which is celebrating 20 years of ministry in 2020.

See below for a list of assigned donations by district. Some of the items needed are bath hand towels, combs, adult toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo.

All items must be new and can be bought at Dollar Tree.

Assigned donations by district – 2,000 of each item: 

• Aurora: Adult Toothbrushes • Clear Adhesive Bandages (30 ct)
• Chicago Northwestern: 1 Gallon Sealable Plastic Bags • Single Blade Razors (with guard)
• Chicago Southern: Combs  • Shampoo (16 oz.)
