Buckets of Hope for HAITI

Feeding the People of Haiti one Family at a Time

LifePoint, along with SBC churches across the country, is participating in BUCKETS OF HOPE for Haiti. We’ll be filling (New) buckets with rice, beans etc. to feed Haitian families. One bucket will feed a family for over a week! Here is what you can fill your bucket with:

*New Bucket (available at Walmart, Sherwin Williams…)

*2 – 5 lb. bags of long-grain rice

*2 – 2 lb. bags of dry black (or red) beans

*1 – 48 oz. plastic bottle of cooking oil.

*1 – 5 lb. of all-purpose flour (not self-rising)

*1 – 20 oz. cylinder of granulated white sugar

*2 – 1 lb. box of spaghetti noodles

*1 – 40 oz. plastic jar of smooth peanut butter

*1 – 2 gallon Ziplock bag (to put around the oil)

*$10 donation for shipping (checks made payable to SBCO)



If you live withing driving distance of LifePoint (LifePoint is a regional drop-off site), please plan on participating in this VERY PRACTICAL way to help the people of Haiti. If you are in another region of the country, this is going on Nationwide (check out www.namb.net for more info)! Please deliver the buckets by March 15th.
