Soap

María Dolores Pérez Páez shows items received in an MCC relief kit. She has been using them sparingly, since she says doesn't know when she'll get soap or towels again.

Last year, MCC shipped 2,972 kg (6,551 lbs) of bath soap and 16,703 kg (36,823 lbs) of laundry soap to Malawi, Ukraine and Zambia.

Bath soap specifications:

NEW bars of soap 

  • 85g (3oz) or larger
  • Please leave in wrapper.
  • Please keep in mind that hotel soaps are too small.

Laundry soap specifications:

NEW bars of laundry soap 

  • Brands such as Fels Naptha®, Sunlight® or Zote®
  • Please leave in wrapper.
  • Homemade laundry soap blocks of 150g (5oz) or larger are acceptable.

Instructions: Soap can be dropped off at the locations listed on the MCC drop-off location web page.

Thank you for limiting your generosity to the items listed.
