Annual Conference Mission Project

This year Yellowstone Conference will collect the contents of layette kits for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) West Depot in Salt Lake City.  Each church can decide whether to collect all the items needed for a kit, or to focus on two or three items. All items should be brought to Annual Conference in June. Items will be delivered to the depot in July.  You can find the list of contents of the kit here.

Some important things to remember:
  • All items must be new.
  • Do not wash any of the items as they will then be considered used.
  • All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items, nothing more. 
  • Do not include any personal notes, money, or additional material in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
