By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. " John 13:34-35

WATER DELIVERY FOR SAND BRANCH​

The next water delivery date is Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024​​

​

 We will collect water and cash donations through Friday, December 6th.

​

In the last 2 years, Ascension has collected and delivered nearly 1,250 cases of water to Sandbranch, an unincorporated community 20 miles southeast of downtown Dallas with no running water. About 150 descendants of ex-slaves live here. Until the 1980s, they had wells, but that water got contaminated. All of its residents live below the federal poverty line and do not have clean water for drinking, cooking, or bathing.

​

Anyone interested in helping deliver water and helping with the Sand Branch community food pantry by distributing food alongside the pantry workers is welcome. Our next water delivery will be Saturday, December 7th.  Interested in volunteering to deliver? Contact Jane Taber. Read about this amazing community and its myriad issues HERE.

The need is so great!
