CWS Buckets and Kits | Help Communities in Need Around the World

CWS Kits are small packages of supplies assembled by volunteers and shipped to families and communities in need around the world – especially in the aftermath of disasters such as Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael.

We’re rushing supplies to our neighbors in the wake of these crises around the world, and we need your help. You’ll find all the information you need here to gather with friends in your community to assemble kits or buckets.

Before assembling kits, check here to see if there is a depot near you. If NOT, you can pay to ship kits to our New Windsor or Ferncliff locations, OR simply donate the funds and CWS will assemble and ship the needed kits for you!

Our emergency response Kit Depots are facilities that voluntarily serve as temporary drop-off points for the Kits you collect. From here, these Kits will be sent to CWS’ warehouses, where they will be ready for deployment in emergency response situations.

Check our map to see if there’s an active Kit Depot near you. Click on any of the markers to make sure that you are able to drop off your Kits while a Kit Depot is open.

No Depot near you? You can still mail Kits to a CWS warehouse - but make sure your group budgets appropriately for the high costs of postage. If your group decides that shipping Kits will be too expensive, we invite you to build your Kits virtually instead. This is a cost-effective way to make sure resources quickly go to people who need them the most!

Much of this emergency response initiative is coordinated by volunteer teams, so please be patient if unforeseen changes occur during your Kit assembly (i.e. Kit Depot dates being rearranged). We will do our best to communicate with you in a timely manner if this happens, but please feel free to contact info@cwsglobal.org if you have any concerns.

Thank you for helping guide this emergency response!
