Creating a Care Kit

Helping locals in need may seem a daunting task, but one way individuals and families can provide appropriate assistance is through the creation of easy-to-carry Care Kits. Compiling Care Kits is a great way to teach children compassion, and easy to distribute. After gathering the essential resources, compile the kits and keep several in the car with you. As opportunities arise, exercise caution, yet be neighborly and share.
