God’s Pit Crew and Moore’s Electrical and Mechanical of Altavista, Virginia, will soon take part in a special assembly event of filling Blessing Buckets with much needed emergency supplies. Moore’s staff members and their families, along with the volunteer leadership team from God’s Pit Crew, will work together to fill five-gallon Blessing Buckets with non-perishable food, first aid supplies, hygiene items, Bibles, and handwritten notes of encouragement.
Major natural disasters have seemingly increased all around the world, and daily there are alerts of impending severe weather, earthquakes, potential flooding, and many other threats. So far in 2024, Blessing Buckets have been used to aid victims of wildfires and flooding in Texas, as well as deadly tornadoes in Ohio and Oklahoma. The upcoming packing event with Moore’s will grow the amount of Blessing Buckets that are currently inventoried, which can then be used at a moment’s notice when the next disaster strikes.
This mobile Blessing Bucket assembly will take place on Friday, May 17, beginning at 9:00 AM at the River Ridge Mall in Lynchburg, Virginia. The team of volunteers assembled by Moore’s 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.
The event taking place this Friday will be the fourth mobile Blessing Bucket packing event that Moore’s and God’s Pit Crew have partnered together to accomplish. The first-ever mobile packing event hosted by God’s Pit Crew was held at Moore’s in 2021, and the program has since grown to include events in other states such as Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas.
God’s Pit Crew Blessing Bucket Co-Director, Miki Jenkins, spoke of the upcoming event stating, “Our team is beyond excited to partner with our friends at Moore’s on another great mobile event. Through this partnership, more life-sustaining supplies are getting into the hands that need them most.”
“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 most,” continued Jenkins.
President and CEO of Moore’s Electrical and Mechanical, Andy Moore, shared the special meaning of this event to the corporation, “As a mission-driven company, we encourage our employees to volunteer and make a lasting impact on those in need, and this event is a great way to get everyone involved and help make a difference.”
The event taking place on Friday, May 17, will fill over 2,000 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 during times of severe disaster.
