Our Story

More than 25 years ago, I received a newsletter from the Kansas City Rescue Mission. This newsletter sparked something inside of me. In my 30s, I started financially supporting Kansas City Rescue Mission with monthly recurring giving. When my kids were young, we started going there to volunteer and donate items needed at the shelter. Ten-plus years ago, I started serving on the streets around the holidays with my sisters/family handing out clothing, coats, and food. That’s when I realized I was drawn to serve those experiencing homelessness. I felt a sense of belonging with each interaction with those in need. Many of the people we served had a desire to change their circumstances. They simply needed a helping hand, a listening ear, and someone who truly cared. Each shattered soul I encountered created a stirring in my heart which ultimately culminated in me surrendering and answering the call on my life to start GOD’S BUCKET BRIGADE. More About GBB →

Each bucket is a gift from God which represents a life touched, blessed, and loved. This couldn’t have happened without the prayers and support of all those who gave of their time, talent, and treasures.

The reach of GBB goes beyond just the buckets. We have also provided clothing, coats, shoes, blankets, sleeping bags, tents, tarps, backpacks, suitcases, and so much more. It’s impossible to estimate a specific number of souls impacted by GBB. The people we personally hand these items to then share them in their camps and communities.
