By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. " John 13:34-35


 

WATER DELIVERY FOR SAND BRANCH

Over the last 2 1/2 years, Ascension has collected and delivered nearly 2,200 cases of water to Sandbranch, an unincorporated community 20 miles southeast of downtown Dallas that has no access to running water. Approximately 150 descendants of former slaves reside here. Until the 1980s, they had wells, but that water got contaminated. All of its residents live below the federal poverty line and lack access to clean water for drinking, cooking, or bathing.

Anyone interested in helping deliver water and distribute food alongside the pantry workers at the Sand Branch community food pantry is welcome. Interested in volunteering to deliver? Contact Jane Taber. Please read about this amazing community and its myriad issues HERE.  

The need is so great!
