Buckets of Hope Project

This weekend Life Church will hand out 5 gallon buckets to any families or individuals who would like to create a "Bucket of Hope" for Haitian earthquake victims. We are partnering with the NC Baptist Association in this effort.

The “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with the specific items listed below. For approximately $30 you or your family can purchase the materials and assemble a "Bucket of Hope."

Please make sure you follow the list below when packing your bucket.
2 – 5-pound bags long grain enriched rice (smaller bags totaling 10 pounds are acceptable)
1 – 48-ounce plastic bottle cooking oil
2 – 2-pound bags dry red or black beans (smaller bags totaling 4 pounds are acceptable)
1 – 5-pound bag of all-purpose flour (not self-rising)
1 – 20-ounce cylinder container of granulated white sugar (coffee service size)
2 – 1-pound boxes spaghetti noodles
1 – 40oz. plastic jar smooth peanut butter
1 – white kitchen trash can size plastic bag (which will be used to wrap the bottle of cooking oil)

After packing your bucket please return it to Life Church on Sunday, February 21st. In addition, North Carolina Baptists is requesting a $5 or $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.

If you would like, you can also buy items needed for the buckets and bring them to Life Church this Sunday or Sunday, February 21st.

The following video shows how to packet the bucket after purchasing all the items.
