Cleanup Buckets
By admin | August 2, 2008
As the floodwaters recede in the Midwest, families are facing the daunting task of clean-up and debris removal from the muddy waters.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is asking for assistance from congregations in assembling ceanup buckets to help in the process. Shepherd’s Stewardship and Outreach Committee would like to work with our LOGOS youth to assemble these buckets for shipment and/or delivery to the Presbyterian Churches in the Midwest.
Once again, we would love to ask the congregation for your involvement and support in this much-needed outreach effort. The contents requested for a cleanup bucket are:
- One 5-gallon bucket with resealable lid.
- Five scouring pads.
- Seven sponges, assorted sizes.
- One scrub brush.
- One package cleaning towels (18 reusable, such as Easy Wipes).
- One box dry laundry detergent, 50-78 oz.
- Liquid concentrated household cleaner (such as Lysol), 12 oz.
- One bottle liquid disinfectant dish soap, 25 oz.
- Fifty clothespins.
- Five dust masks.
- Two pair Latex gloves (such as Playtex).
- One pair work gloves.
- One 24-count roll of heavy-duty trash bags (33- to 45-gallon).
- One bottle insect repellant (drops or lotion, not aerosol), 6-14 oz.
Please check your homes and see if you have any extras of these items available to donate. If you purchase any items, please only purchase the liquids in plastic bottles. We will have a table set up in Fellowship Hall to collect these items.
We would like to begin the assembly process with the LOGOS youth in early September. Depending on the outpouring of support for this project, we may schedule a mission trip to the Midwest with some of the LOGOS youth to personally deliver the cleanup buckets.
If you have any questions about this project, please call the church at 235-3536. Thank you for your caring support for this Presbyterian Diasaster Assistance project!
