"Buckets
of Hope" - Feeding the People of Haiti one Family at a
Time
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.
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.
Contact the Florence
Baptist Association Office for delivery dates
and instructions. Then put a bucket together and
you can be a part in touching the lives of tens
of thousands of Haitians.
