In the last 24 hr Hurricane Sandy has
pounded the East Coast. It is estimated that the storm will
negatively impact one in every four Americans before it leaves the
country
As you may know, Beautiful Savior's's Lutheran Church
Disaster Care Ministry assembles disaster buckets to provide to
families that are impacted by disaster. I have been in touch with
Rev Glen Merrit, who coordinates disaster response for the Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod. Pastor Merritt and I believe there will be a
real need for disaster buckets to be delivered as soon as it is safe
to go into the devastated areas. We are working with Synod to
coordinate delivery of as many buckets as possible.
If you are willing to
assist us in this effort you can assemble buckets using the information below, and
delivering them to Beautiful Savior by Monday November 5. The address is 5851 New York Avenue, Arlington TX 75052.
Each Bucket is a five gallon bucket
with lid and contains the following Items:
- Roll
of Paper towels
- Disposable
rags
- Glass
cleaner
- Cleansing
powder
- Liquid
cleaner
- Bleach
- Scrub
brush
- 2
pair of Rubber gloves
- Sponge(s)
- Mop
or Broom
All
items except the mop or broom should be placed in the bucket and the
lid placed on top (so they can be stacked). Mops and brooms should be
brought separately.
If you would like to help but can not
bring buckets you can donate to the effort by donating to the General
Hurricane fund set up by the Texas District. To donate online go to
