BLESSING BUCKET INFORMATION
What is a Blessing Bucket: to someone who has lost everything, a Blessing Bucket provides the first and possibly the only belongings they may have. Physically, it’s a 5-gallon bucket filled with essential supplies for the first few days after a disaster. Emotionally, it’s a “hug” from a stranger, so they know they’re not alone. Spiritually, it is Hope from God and helps them know He loves them and is with them.
What is inside a Blessing Bucket: it’s a 5-gallon bucket filled with 27 items, including non-perishable food; hygiene items like toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, towels, toilet paper, and wipes; first-aid supplies; a Bible, and a hand-written, encouraging note.
Who/where receives Blessing Buckets: God’s Pit Crew distributes Blessing Buckets domestically and internationally. For example: to Houston, Georgia, and Alabama after the recent tornadoes; to Houston after Hurricane Harvey; to Louisiana after Hurricanes Katrina and Ida; to Poland for Ukrainian refugees.
How many Blessing Buckets have been distributed after disasters: in the past 5 years alone, God’s Pit Crew has distributed more than 105,000 Blessing Buckets to those in need.
WHAT GOD’S PIT CREW DOES
We provide Blessing Buckets – a Blessing Bucket is a 5-gallon bucket filled with essential items to help survivors of disasters across the country and world due to natural disasters, tragedies, or severe poverty.
We respond to disasters – sending trained volunteers and staff to clear fallen trees and debris, tarp roofs, and muck out homes; and sending emergency supplies like water, tarps, generators, and Blessing Buckets to survivors. We’ve responded to 160+ major disasters in 28 states and 15 countries so far.
We rebuild homes – for free – for survivors of disasters, partnering with companies and communities to build homes and renovate facilities. We’ve built and furnished nearly 60 homes for disaster survivors, wounded veterans, and widows; and have rebuilt/renovated schools, churches, and playgrounds.
We distribute supplies – we’ve distributed more than 100 million pounds of food, water, hygiene items, and diapers to more than 175 profits since 1999.
