From the North American Mission Board web-site:

The “Buckets of Hope” ministry is just one means by which we can follow the Jesus and feed the hungry.

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.

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.

We will be assembling Buckets of Hope Sunday Feb 7 during our Super Bowl Party at the home of Michael and Amanda. If you cannot attend please drop off an assembled bucket anytime at Java Joe’s.

How soon we forget:
