We are putting together buckets for Seniors in our community. I am providing whistles for the buckets. The big item is pre-programmed weather radios, which have been purchased with a grant. Another small item I have had difficulty with is, finding someone with the animal shelter, or Marshall's office. I was given a name and an email address, but so far no response. We want to get stickers (like are put on the outside of homes, to let the fire department know there are pets inside) for 50 buckets, that will have leashes in them.
Cherokee, we need your help. ❤️
Imagine being a senior during a power outage, severe storm, or other emergency—and not being able to quickly find the basic supplies you need.
That’s why Cherokee Triad SALT is assembling SOS Buckets. Each bucket contains essential emergency items in one easy-to-access place, helping older adults stay safe, prepared, and independent when the unexpected happens.
We’re so close to finishing them, but we still need your help.
🪣 100 NEW 5-gallon buckets with lids (must be standard 5-gallon size)
✂️ 200 utility scissors
🧰 200 mini tool kits
Every donation—whether it’s one bucket, one pair of scissors, one tool kit, or a monetary donation through the QR code—makes a real difference for a senior right here in our community.
Cherokee has always shown up for its neighbors. Let’s do it again.
Together, we can help ensure our seniors are prepared before an emergency—not after one.
