The “Buckets of Hope” ministry is just one means by which Baptists can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. As we are reminded in Matthew 25:40, Jesus tells us, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'" (KJV)

A “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. For approximately $30 anyone can purchase the materials and assemble a "Bucket of Hope." The food contained in a single bucket will feed a Haitian family for a week. You are also requested to include a $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.

Buckets must be packed with a specific list of food items inside. Please follow the detailed instructions  carefully. This will ensure that every bucket quickly passes through customs and into the hands of the Haitian people.

Contact your Baptist State Convention office for delivery dates and instructions. Then put a bucket together and you can be a part in touching the lives of tens of thousands of Haitians. 

"Bringing Haitians Hope - so easy even an administrator can do it."
Read the aritcle by William Maxwell, Administrative Director for the Executive Board of the Tennessee Baptist Convention.

At First Baptist Church Chandler, Arizona, an assembly line was used to put together 107 Buckets of Hope from supplies purchased by church members.
