SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -
Volunteers at a South Shreveport church filled "Flood Buckets" Monday morning to help with the cleanup after Isaac.
Broadmoor United Methodist Church members filled "flood buckets" with supplies as part of a national United Methodist effort to aid places with devastation.
Reverend Matt Rawle says the buckets will not go to the areas affected by Isaac but to a stock pile on Baldwin, Louisiana to refill buckets that were already sent out. Rawle say the church has filled more than 100 buckets so far today.
Members say the cost to fill one bucket is about $55.
Materials in each bucket include:
5-gallon bucket with re-sealable lid
Bleach (two 1-quart or one 82 oz. bottle. Do not include bleach if you are
shipping the bucket through the US Postal Service, UPS or FedEx)
5 scouring pads
7 sponges
1 scrub brush
18 cleaning towels (reusable wipes)
Liquid laundry detergent (two 25 oz. or one 50 oz. bottle)
1 household cleaner, 12-16 oz. bottle
Disinfectant dish soap, 16-28 oz. bottle
50 clothes pins
Clothes line (two 50 ft. or one 100 ft.)
5 dust masks
2 pair latex gloves
1 pair work gloves
24-bag roll of heavy-duty trash bags, 33-45 gallon (remove roll from box
before placing in bucket)
1 Insect repellant spray, 6-14 oz. can (If aerosol, cans must have protective
