Alabama Baptists responded to the call to provide Buckets of Hope for Haiti with “a flood of buckets,” according to Mel Johnson, disaster relief strategist for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
At press time, Johnson estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 buckets had been collected at four drop off points around the state, including Birmingham Baptist Association (see photo).
The total number of buckets, which provide needed food supplies for Haitian families, was expected to top 150,000 across the Southern Baptist Convention.
