WATER DELIVERY FOR SAND BRANCH​
The next water delivery date is Saturday, March 1, 2025​
​
We will collect water and cash donations through February 28th.
​
In the last 2 years, Ascension has collected and delivered nearly 1,250 cases of water to Sandbranch, an unincorporated community 20 miles southeast of downtown Dallas with no running water. About 150 descendants of ex-slaves live here. Until the 1980s, they had wells, but that water got contaminated. All its residents live below the federal poverty line and do not have clean water for drinking, cooking, or bathing.
​
Anyone interested in helping deliver water and helping with the Sand Branch community food pantry by distributing food alongside the pantry workers is welcome. Our next water delivery will be on Saturday, March 1st. Interested in volunteering to deliver? Contact Jane Taber. Please read about this amazing community and its myriad issues HERE.

The need is so great!
