The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has put out an urgent call for cleaning buckets. “Recent flooding, fires, and storms in numerous conferences in the U.S. has nearly depleted our network supply of cleanup kits also known as cleaning buckets,” said Catherine Earl of UMCOR. “Your help is desperately needed to help replenish the supply.”

The conference will collect cleaning buckets until September 24th.
 In the Anderson District, Trinity United Methodist Church in Anderson has offered to be a drop-off site for flood buckets. The District Disaster Coordinator will see that the flood buckets are delivered to the Louisiana Flood victims. If you have questions please email an_disasterresponse@umcsc.org or call or text (864) 280-9336.

A complete list of items for the cleaning buckets can be downloaded here.
