By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. " John 13:34-35
WATER DELIVERY FOR SAND BRANCH
SANDBRANCH WATER & GIFT CARD DRIVE
Starts November 1st | Deliver on December 6th
Once again, this November, we are collecting bottled water and gallons to be delivered to this community in need. In addition to water, this holiday season, we will buy $50 Walmart gift cards to help Sandbranch families purchase Christmas gifts and groceries. We will meet at the church at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 7th, to drive the water and gift cards to Sandbranch. If you want to give a monetary donation toward the gift cards, or if you prefer to make a cash or check gift for water, you can do so through the church office or visit our website to give online. Many thanks to our Evangelism committee for spearheading this effort!
Over the last two years, Ascension has collected and delivered nearly 1,250 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!
