On September 7th, 2005, 24 Middle and

Senior High School students and sponsors

pitched in to fill 300 "Care Kits" for

the American Red Cross.

As the American Red Cross in Wichita, KS prepared for the arrival of people displaced by Hurricane Katrina they discovered they had a shortage of "Care Kits" to give to victims of disaster.

Each kit contains basic toiletry items.

The youth and sponsors received generous

donations of soap, shampoo, toothpaste

and other such items from hotels

in the Wichita area. 

Wash clothes, razors, toothbrushes and

combs that had been purchased by money

donated by members of Meridian Avenue

Baptist Church were also added.

By working together the group was able

to assemble all 300 care kits in

one half-hour.
