THANK YOU EVERYONE!
We have achieved and SURPASSED our goal of 40 buckets for 40 years of ministry at Lord of Life! Remember, you can always donate to support flood buckets for flood victims AND make donations for Lutheran Disaster Response through our website's GIVE page. We are making a difference, together!

Donation Drop Off Information

​Our address:
2899 Hales Mill Road in Asbury (just west of Sam's Club and HyVee off Asbury Rd).

If you want to help, but can't fill a full bucket, choose an item or items from the list and drop them by the church. If you want to donate to the cause, the cost to fill a bucket is approximately $60. You can write a check to Lord of Life or use our online giving page or text to give. We'll do the rest.

What is our 40 for 40 Goal?

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Lord of Life Lutheran Church. We are happy about that, but we're even happier to celebrate by helping our neighbors by collecting 40 flood buckets to distribute through our Synod Disaster Response Team. You bring the buckets and we'll get them where they need to be to meet the needs of flood victims. Thanks for helping us celebrate!

FLOOD BUCKET APPEAL

SPECIAL APPEAL:
Care in our Community

Due to excessive flooding underway, our Synod is asking for help putting together flood buckets. The need is urgent! We are asking you to bring supplies to church so we can create as many buckets as possible. If you want to create an entire bucket and bring that, even better! We will collect supplies in the Gathering Space at church THIS WEEK. Thank you, in advance, for your help.
​
One five-gallon bucket with resealable lid (If bucket has been used, clean well but do not use if it has held chemicals of any kind.)
• Four scouring pads
• One scrub brush
• Five dust masks
• Seven sponges, assorted sizes (at least one fairly hefty for washing mold)
• 18 cleaning towels (reusable, like Easy Wipes®)
• One 12 oz. bottle of liquid concentrated household cleaner (like Lysol®)
• One 25 oz. bottle liquid disinfectant dish soap (like Dawn®)
• One 50 oz. or two 25 oz. bottle(s) of liq- uid laundry detergent
• One package of 48-50 clothespins
• Clothesline, two 50 ft. or one 100 ft.
• Two pairs latex gloves (long heavy- duty, like Playtex® dishwashing gloves, not the thin ones sold for painting etc.)
• One pair work gloves
• 28-bag roll of heavy-duty trash bags (30-45 gallon)
• One 6-9 oz. bottle of insect repellent (pump, drops or lotion, not aerosol)

Please Note: Do NOT substitute items, add items, or leave items out of the buckets. If the requested item size is not available, go down to the next available size.

​Suggestions from Lutheran Disaster Response: Many items can be purchased at local dollar stores at a substantial savings. The Lysol cleaner can be difficult to find — be sure it is a concentrated formula.
