Clean water can flow through BGR on #GivingTuesday

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Clean water is the #GivingTuesday focus of Baptist Global Response for a second year. After its initial #GivingTuesday campaign for 500 water filters, BGR has raised its goal this year to 600 filters for families in Asia and Africa. Each filter, which resembles a clay pot, will provide a family of five with a year of clean water at a cost of $25 per filter.
