FLOOD BUCKETS

To assist those who have suffered great damage to their homes and community from flooding, we are looking to donate Flood Buckets. These are standardized kits of cleaning supplies packaged in a resealable 5 gallon bucket to assist people in restoring their buildings and homes.

You can drop off your buckets at the church up to July 30th. Donations can be made out to the church to help purchase the necessary items. Please continue in prayer for all those impacted by these floods.
