Just one person is all it takes to help make a big difference. Kent Blake of Cedar Park, Texas, chose the Church World Service Kits Program for his Eagle Scout project. He organized his parents, church youth group and Scout troops at the Cedar Park Ward (LDS) to help. And his dentist even chipped in with toothbrushes and toothpaste for the 181 CWS Health Kits assembled and shipped to our New Windsor, MD warehouse.
