We are assembling cleaning supply buckets that will be stored until the need arises, making it possible to immediately respond to those in need after a disaster.

We plan to keep a replenished supply of buckets in our inventory so that we are ready to respond .

Assembly Directions
Place all liquid items in the bucket first. Place remaining items in the bucket fitting them around and between the liquid items. Sponges, scouring pads, clothespins and trash bags can be separated in order to fit all of the items in the bucket. Ensure the lid is closed securely.
Important Notes
All items must be new except for the actual bucket and lid. All cleaning agents must be liquid and in plastic containers. No powders, please.
If you cannot find the requested size of a liquid item, use a smaller size. Including larger sizes of any item will prevent the lid from sealing.
