GOD’S PIT CREW AND CHURCH OF THE HIGHLANDS IN ALABAMA HOST BLESSING BUCKET ASSEMBLY TO PREPARE FOR DISASTER
DANVILLE, VA. (July 11, 2024) – God’s Pit Crew and Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama, will soon take part in a special assembly event of filling Blessing Buckets with much needed emergency supplies. Members of Church of the Highlands, a system of churches spread across the state of Alabama, along with community members, will help fill God’s Pit Crew’s five-gallon Blessing Buckets with non-perishable food, first aid supplies, hygiene items, Bibles, and handwritten notes of encouragement.
This mobile Blessing Bucket assembly will take place on Saturday, July 13, from 10:30 AM until 12:30 PM at 4700 Highlands Way, Birmingham, Alabama 35210. Church members and local community members will use the specially designed mobile assembly lines to gather the buckets and fill them with items that will help provide hope and help for survivors of major disasters. This event will help to replenish the inventory of Blessing Buckets that have already been distributed for disasters that have occurred so far this year.
God’s Pit Crew Blessing Bucket Co-Director, Miki Jenkins, spoke of the upcoming event stating, “We are very grateful for the heartfelt relationship between God’s Pit Crew and Church of the Highlands. It is truly a blessing for all of these people to gather together and take the time to assemble these Blessing Buckets.”
“Blessing Buckets are desperately needed for disaster survivors and are God’s Pit Crew’s first line of response after disaster strikes. The buckets provide emergency supplies, along with emotional and spiritual encouragement when people need it the most,” continued Jenkins.
The event taking place on Saturday, July 13, will fill over 1,000 Blessing Buckets. With frequent disasters seeming to happen with little time in between, God’s Pit Crew is thankful for all supporters who donate and volunteer to assemble Blessing Buckets that are ready to be distributed without haste when times of turmoil strike.
“We are so thankful for the people that go above and beyond to help us fulfill our ministry’s mission of providing hope and restoration back into the lives of disaster victims,” said Randy Johnson, president of God’s Pit Crew.
“The work that God’s Pit Crew is able to accomplish would not be possible without the servitude and financial support shown to us by our many partners and supporters.”
Since the beginning of the year, God’s Pit Crew has responded to 12 disaster situations throughout the country and delivered over 8,000 Blessing Buckets to disaster victims. This includes the ongoing response currently taking place in Houston, Texas, following Hurricane Beryl’s catastrophic landfall.
