Buckets of Hope

 

Groveton families and Sunday School classes worked together to donate 50 buckets of food items that were forwarded on to Baptist Haiti Disaster Relief Workers through the North American Mission Board.   A total of 132,000 buckets were collected.  Churches, like Groveton, from all over the country have been working together to make a tangible donation to the ongoing relief work in the earth quake ravaged country.  Each bucket contained: rice, beans, flour, sugar, spaghetti noodles, peanut butter, and cooking oil.   The staples will feed a family of five for about a week. 

 

On Saturday March 14, 2010 about a dozen volunteers gathered to finish packing buckets and to make sure each bucket contained exactly the required contents.   The buckets were loaded on to a pick-up truck owned by Neal Morgan who delivered to a Virginia Baptist collection point in Fredericksburg, VA.
