Crisis Care Kits
About Crisis Care Kits
Nazarene Missions International (NMI) has a legacy of hands-on participation. It was this rich heritage that resulted in the founding of NMI more than 100 years ago.
The passion to be directly involved in missions fostered the partnership between Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) and NMI, resulting in the ministry of Crisis Care Kits. These kits provide basic necessities to those who are displaced following a disaster. Thousands of Crisis Care Kits are made, stored, and distributed globally each year as needs inevitably arise around the world. Crisis Care Kits are needed now more than ever.
We will collect CCK every year at Values Conference and District Assembly!
The packing list for Crisis Care Kits changed. View/download current CCK instructions using the button below. There are new additions to the supplies this year to our kits so read the list carefully. Please remember that adherence to these directions is required (nothing more, nothing less!); kits that do not conform cannot be used due to customs requirements.

Local NMI President’s Role with Crisis Care Kits
- Obtain banana boxes from your local grocery store. We only ship kits in banana boxes, as they provide uniformity and eliminate wasted space.
- Cut the heavy brown paper (normally found in the banana box) in half. Please one half inside the bottom of the box; take the other half over the whole in the lid. (Plain cardboard may also be used.)
- Work with your church to pack your Crisis Care Kits.
- Verify the exact contents of your church’s CCKs!
- Fill each box with EXACTLY 6 kits. Do not insert money, literature or any other item. No notes, no reference to your church, etc., in the kits or banana boxes. Using strong packing tape, cover all the holes in the top and the bottom of the box. Be sure to the leave box handles open for easy loading/unloading. DO NOT tape the box shut!
- Bring the banana boxes with Crisis Care Kits with you to District Assembly! We have arranged transportation!
