(Danville, Va.) — God’s Pit Crew is responding to the wildfires in California.
The nonprofit plans to send a tractor-trailer loaded with “Blessing Buckets” to California to help those left homeless by the fires.
The Blessing Buckets will be delivered to Paradise, Calif., which was decimated by the fires. Coroner search teams, many accompanied by a chaplain, have fanned out across Paradise, visiting dozens of addresses that belong to people reported missing since the fire Thursday.
A tractor-trailer loaded with relief supplies is scheduled to leave the God’s Pit Crew Distribution Center on Wednesday, according to GPC President Randy Johnson.
Meanwhile, Johnson says the organization is seeking donations to help replenish its inventory, which likely will be depleted by the distribution. Blessing buckets are five-gallon buckets which include essentials such as toilet paper, snacks and bottled water.
