How to make a flood bucket and where to send them

To all Churches - This notice was recently posted by UMCOR
 
Respond to UMCOR Sager Brown’s, the United Methodist supply depot, urgent plea to replenish their flood bucket supply. The Atlantic hurricane season is still underway and is a continual threat to those in its path. Many Midwest communities continue to be affected by increased flooding that has caused substantial loss of property. Use this church bulletin insert to learn more about how UMCOR is able to respond effectively to disasters that happen across our country. Download and print the latest UMCOR church bulletin insert here .
 
UMCOR is in need of flood buckets. Rev. Jeff Childs thinks we can flood the adjourned session with flood buckets, he is also going to challenge the other Conferences that are meeting in adjourned sessions to up flood bucket showdown. If you get them to the adjourned session we will get them to UMCOR.
 
Please follow the instructions below for putting together the Flood Buckets.

Flood Buckets

Note: if the requested item size is not available, go down to the next available size. If nothing is available in the requested or smaller size, put masking tape on the outside of the bucket saying, "This bucket contains no _________"

  • 5-gallon bucket with reseal able lid
  • Bleach (two 1-quart or one 82 oz. bottle. Do not include bleach if you are shipping the bucket through the US Postal Service, UPS or FedEx)
  • 5 scouring pads
  • 7 Sponges
  • 1 scrub brush
  • 18 cleaning towels (reusable wipes)
  • Liquid laundry detergent (two 25 oz. or one 50 oz. bottle)
  • 1 household cleaner, 12-16 oz. bottle
  • Disinfectant dish soap, 16-28 oz. bottle
  • 50 clothes pins
  • Clothes line (two 50 ft. or one 100 ft.)
  • 5 dust masks
  • 2 pair latex gloves
  • 1 pair work gloves
  • 24-bag roll of heavy-duty trash bags, 33-45 gallon (remove roll from box before placing in bucket)
  • 1 Insect repellant spray, 6-14 oz. can (If aerosol, cans must have protective caps. See Special Requirements below.)
  • 1 Air freshener, 8 or 9 oz. can (If aerosol, cans must have protective caps.
    See Special Requirements below.)

Important Kit Assembly Information

  • All items included in kits must be NEW items.  
  • All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more.
  • DO NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits.  These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

Thank you
