**Instructions for delivery table sheets: use flat sheets twin or full size, any color, made of cotton or cotton/polyester. Fold sheet in half so it is 48” x 66” (twin) or 48”x 81” (full). Straight stitch or zig-zag around the entire doubled sheet, including the folded side, close to the edge. Measure half way down (33” or 40.1”) and sew across the sheet.
The twin sheet sets for hospital beds. Would child themed sheet sets be appropriate?
Yes, they would be appropriate. Thanks for asking.
Can churches send money instead? Where?
Yes. Credit card payments can be processed here: https://secure.cmalliance.org/give/ Checks made payable to The Christian and Missionary Alliance can be mailed to The Christian and Missionary Alliance, Attn: Donor Services, 8595 Explorer Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80920. Write “Bongolo Med Supp/Shpg” in the memo.
Surgical masks are purchased ones, not ones we make, correct?
Correct
Do they want rolled bandages?
Yes. We will update this blog post so that you have access to the complete list of supplies urgently needed.
