Because of you, the CWS Kits ministry continues strong.

Your compassion keeps families and communities supplied with help and hope. As we prepare for an exciting new chapter in 2026, we’re making a few operational updates—but the mission remains the same.

What’s Changing:

  • Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, MD will close at the end of 2025. The last day for kit drop-offs is November 1, 2025.
  • A new Mid-Atlantic Super Depot will open soon to replace this location. Details will be announced soon!
  • Elgin, IL Depot will continue to accept CWS Kits, though the process may look slightly different next year.
  • CWS Kit Warehouses will close in December for inventory and audit as we prepare for transition. Please hold December drop-offs until early 2026 while we complete our transition.
  • CWS Kit Depots Network will continue in 2026 and beyond, with depots in 15 states open year-round and many seasonal depots available in spring and fall—this list will be updated in early 2026.

Faithful Stewardship. Enduring Impact.
Every kit shared this year came from our existing inventory of earlier kits—each one packed with hope and shared with love. CWS remains a careful steward of every gift entrusted to us, ensuring nothing goes to waste and every kit reaches those who need it most.
