refer it to a friend!“All about us there are many who are in need of help and who are deserving of rescue. Our mission in life, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a mission of saving. There are the homeless, the hungry, the destitute.” President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Our Mission of Saving,” Ensign, Nov. 1991, 59 '  "When we love the Lord, obedience ceases to be a burden. Obedience becomes a delight. When we love the Lord, we seek less for things that benefit us and turn our hearts toward things that will bless and uplift others." --Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, "The Great Commandment", October 2007 General Conference Completed

InfoSewed
FLAT Crib Sheets for LDS Humanitarian"There are no fitted corners (because the rest of the world does not necessarily use our standard crib mattresses or even mattresses for that matter). They should be 42"-45" x 72", hemmed on the short ends, either surged or rolled hem; selvage sides may be left unsewn. (when we are sewing a huge amount of sheets at the Center, we do not tear off the side to make a 45" width 42". By leaving the extra inches, we then don't have to hem the sides (using the selvage edges).) They should be made of cotton or cotton blends or flannel and should not be pieced, if possible. They should also not be made with scary patterns that might frighten the children that sleep on them! " Thanks to Bev F for this updated information. T-shirt Dresses for little girls

Hygiene Kit Contents Newborn Kit Contents School Kit Contents Quilts, Handtowels, and more A good, reasonably priced place to order kit items from Mandalay International Inc. I am not affiliated with them, but have been pleased with their service and products. http://www.humanitarianproducts.com/ "Having that desire to reach out to those who are living in tragic situations is a gift from God. Knowing how you can specifically help, and doing so, is a greater gift." Bev Qualheim OCTOBER 2007 update PHOTOS FROM grBEV (Thanks Bev!!) of 'Behind the Scenes' at The Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City  Here is proof that your mittens
reached their destination. Sister missionaries work very hard to
get the Orphanage Modules (a wood pallet piled high with boxes of
clothing, toys, baby items, blankets, etc.) put together and stored in
our annex for shipping around the world.
 Here is one area that they put outfits(shirt, pants, underpants, booties, socks) together for boxing to go on the orphanage modules.  Orphanage items are sorted by type and size so the orders can be filled. Bins in foreground are unsorted items.
