Buckets of Hope

North Carolina Baptist 

Buckets of Hope

Every North Carolina Baptist can have a hands-on, life changing affect upon the people of Haiti by participating in the "Buckets of Hope" ministry.

The "Buckets of Hope" is just one means by which North Carolina Baptists can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. 

As we are reminded in Matthew 25:45, Jesus tells us, "Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, yet did it not to me." (KJV)

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." In addition, North Carolina Baptists are requested to include 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.

North Carolina Statewide Collection deadline is Saturday, March 6th.

The following items are to be used to pack your "Bucket of Hope."

Please make sure you follow the list below when packing your bucket.

• 2-5 pound bags of long grain enriched rice (smaller bags totaling 10 pounds are acceptable)
• 1-48 ounce plastic bottle of cooking oil
• 2-2 pound bags of dry red or black beans (smaller bags totaling 4 pounds are acceptable)
• 1-5 pound bag of all-purpose flour
• 1-20 ounce cylinder container of granulated white sugar
• 2-1 pound boxes of spaghetti noodles
• 1-40 ounce plastic jar of smooth peanut butter
• 1-white kitchen trash can size plastic bag (which will be used to wrap the bottle of cooking oil)

"Buckets of Hope" Packing Instructions: 

Click here to see an instructional video

1. As you pack the bucket, pray for the Haitian family that will receive the food.
2. Lay the bucket on its side.
3. Place rice packages in bucket. Lay bags side-by-side and flat running in the direction of top to bottom of bucket. Gently compress the bags (without breaking them) as flat as possible to create room for other items.
4. Place bottle of oil inside a clean, unused trash bag and wrap the excess portion of the bag tightly around the bottle. (This is a precaution to protect the food items should there be leakage or a break in the bottle during transport)
5. Lay the bottle of oil on top of the rice bags. Lay the wrapped oil container so that the bottom of the bottle is at the bottom of the bucket and is approximately in the center of the bucket.
6. Place the peanut butter jar on one side of the oil.
7. Place the cylinder of sugar on top of the wrapped oil bottle.
8. Place boxes of spaghetti noodles on the other side of the oil bottle.
9. While holding the sugar and peanut butter containers in place, stand bucket upright. 
10. Place on bag of beans down along the inside of the bucket next to the peanut butter.
11. Place bag of flour on its side on top of the peanut butter, gently packing down the flour bag to clear the rim of the bucket. 
12. Place second bag of beans next to the flour on top of the peanut butter.
13. Close lid on the bucket and make sure it is securely closed. 
14. Place $5 to $10 cash (bills only) into a business size #10 or smaller envelope. Seal the envelope. Securely tape the envelope to the lid of the bucket. 
15. Take the filled "Bucket of Hope" to your area collection center before March 6, 2010.
