BUCKETS OF HOPE FOR HAITI

NAMB: ALPHRETTA, GA - The “Buckets of Hope” ministry is just one means by which Baptists can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. As we are reminded in Matthew 25:40, Jesus tells us, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'" (KJV)

A “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. For approximately $30 anyone can purchase the materials and assemble a "Bucket of Hope." 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.   To view collection sites Click Here.

SCBC: COLUMBIA, SC - We ARE going to participate in a big way with the BGR/NAMB “Buckets of Hope” for Haiti.  The plan is to collect buckets up to March 15 and then truck them to Jacksonville or Miami. 

Each bucket needs to have a check or cash of $10 .  This will go to the cost of shipping to Haiti.  We will combine all the money and send one check from the South Carolina Baptist Convention to the Florida Baptist Convention.  Our South Carolina Baptist Disaster Relief funds will pay for shipping to the Port-either Jacksonville or Miami.

Every bucket must be exactly alike with a specific list of 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.
