Buckets of Hope for Haiti Update

Remember all those white buckets you filled and sent out?

It's good to know that we have been part of a great outpouring of aid for Haiti.

Here is an update on the Buckets of Hope for Haiti project:

KY Baptists collected 9,650 buckets with 300,000 lbs of food valued at $400,000 worth of relief effort! All buckets have made it to Miami and are being sent to Haiti.

In addition, the Kentucky Baptist Convention has received nearly $150,000 of cash donations with $50,000 sent to the Florida Baptist Convention and the rest primarily spent on food and medical supplies. 8 Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief teams have been sent (40 individuals) since the earthquake. Two additional teams are scheduled to be sent in April. In addition to these groups several KY Baptist churches have sent groups to Haiti through connections that they have established over the years.
