Volunteers unload cleaning buckets to distribute to flooding victims.
3MC – The Methodist Men’s Ministry Center, in partnership with Goodwill Industries of Durham, and many, many NC Conference United Methodist congregations, has recently shipped 4335 cleaning buckets for Hurricane Sandy storm victims. The cleaning buckets were distributed through UMCOR in Egg Harbor and Ventnor in New Jersey, and through the Salvation Army in Bethpage, NY. Additionally, another 110 buckets were picked up by St. Francis – a Catholic disaster response organization in NY.
Because of this massive shipment, we have an immediate and continual need for FULLY assembled flood buckets to continue to meet unmet needs and also to back-fill our depleted stocks.
Please do not send partially completed buckets or supply items. We need fully assembled buckets ready for immediate shipment. Your group is invited to bring materials and buckets to 3MC and use the packing area/tables to assemble your cleaning buckets. The 3MC staff is available to answer questions and offer guidance in the packing process.
Please deliver the assembled buckets to the 3MC warehouse at 676 Community Dr Goldsboro NC between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.
Please contact:

They will ensure someone is available at the warehouse to receive your donation. Also, if needed, they can arrange for someone to pick up you cleaning buckets for transport to 3MC.
Please pack the bucket as noted on the UMCOR Relief & Supply website. Follow the link for Cleaning Bucket and also please check out the video on Cleaning Buckets.
