The Executive Team voted to prepare Clean-up Buckets as our disaster response to the recent hurricane damage.

​

The following supplies are needed to prepare the buckets. The Team's hope is to have 20 COMPLETED buckets for delivery by November 14th, 2024.

​

Here's what you'll need:

• One five-gallon bucket with resealable lid (If reused, please scrub clean. Do not use a bucket that has held chemicals of any kind. No screw lid. Advertisement on the outside acceptable.)
