Buckets of Hope for Haiti

       Join Southern Baptists worldwide in aiding Haitians desperate for food. A "Bucket of  Hope" consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. The bucket and the food items can be purchased for approximately $30. The food contained in a single bucket will feed a Haitian family for a week. You are also requested to include a $10 cash contribution, placed in an envelope and attached to the lid of the bucket, to offset the cost of transporting the relief buckets to Haiti. Buckets must be packed with a specific list of food items inside. Please follow the detailed instructions carefully. This will ensure that every bucket quickly passes through customs and into the hands of the Haitian people.

Displays will be set up at the stores with the needed items. The filled buckets will be collected at First Baptist between March 1-10. If you would like to make a donation to help cover the shipping costs and/or to purchase supplies for buckets you can make a check payable to FBC, noting that it’s for the Buckets of Hope. 

Matthew 25:40 tells us, The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
