Festival of Sharing: Share Hope with CWS Kits!

Each year across Ohio, hundreds of compassionate people come together to support neighbors in need through the Festival of Sharing. This ecumenical ministry invites congregations to assemble and donate CWS Kits—providing vital supplies to families facing crisis and hardship.

This year, several CWS Kits have been updated. You can find all the latest packing lists here: fosohio.org/assembling-kits

Already started collecting kit supplies based on a previous version? No problem—both old and new versions will be accepted at collection sites.
