We’ve already assembled about 120 kits so far. Brandon needs 30 hand towels to complete kits which already have all the other items. To make 50 more complete kits, he needs the following (he already has lots of soap, wash cloths and band aids).

12 toothbrushes - 20 combs - 50 hand towels - 50 nail clippers

Please get in touch directly with Brandon Lewis, brandon@saint-andrew.com, if you’d like to provide any of the items mentioned. He’s getting an uneven distribution on the kit contents, so please, ask Brandon before you buy. Thanks!
