GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Thorough instructions for each LWR Parish Project are on the following pages. Careful adherence to these guidelines keeps LWR’s material resources program running smoothly and efficiently. Please follow the instructions exactly so that our distributions are consistent and fair. Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed for each kit. For all projects, please also follow these guidelines:

• Sending top quality items makes a caring statement to the recipient about the giver. Please give new items only, except where noted otherwise.
  
  
• Please do not donate items with any religious symbols, messages or with your parish’s name. LWR provides material resources based on need, regardless of religious creed. Religious references could be misinterpreted by the governments of the receiving countries, jeopardizing the delivery to the people who need the items most.
  
  
• Please do not donate any items decorated with a U.S. flag, patriotic or military symbols, or references to the armed forces, including camouflage. LWR and our overseas partners have access to areas of the world others do not because we are impartial humanitarian organizations. If our intentions are misinterpreted as being politically motivated, our work, our partners and the people we assist could be endangered.
