God's Bucket Brigade

God's bucket brigade is a ministry whose mission is to bless and love the homeless and less fortunate by providing help for today and hope for tomorrow.

They do this by assembling five-gallon buckets filled with personal necessities—such as toilet paper, bottled water, wet wipes, a Bible, hygiene kits, snacks, a flashlight, and a first aid kit—and distributing them directly to people living on the streets or in camps.

The organization focuses on meeting people where they are, building trust and relationships, and connecting them with additional resources and services as needed.

God's bucket brigade operates in several cities and partners with churches and volunteers to assemble and distribute the buckets, making it a ready-made outreach program for those who want to get involved in serving the homeless.
