Rain Barrels



The Sugar Grove UMC Youth are selling rain barrels for $50. Proceeds will help support the creation of a new community food bank at their church for low-income Butler County residents. A portion of the proceeds are a tax-deductible contribution.

Each barrel comes with spigot, runoff tube and screened intake strainer. Barrel color and style may vary depending on supply.

Besides helping the environment, an obvious reason for harvesting rainwater is to save money. Depending on the size of your house and the amount of rainfall in your area, you can collect a substantial amount of water with this simple system. This extra water can have a significant impact on your water bill. Remember last summer’s drought? Rainwater can help to improve the health of your gardens, lawns, and trees. Rain is a naturally soft water and devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals. For this reason, plants respond very well to rainwater.
