Welcome to the EBC Global HQ.
Something BIG is coming to MEMPHIS, TN.
The Endless Bucket Club (EBC) is now 15 years old! Once a small group of alumni financially supporting SOS, the EBC is now a group of nearly 100 Summer Staff and Academy alumni giving a total of nearly $50,000 annually through monthly gifts of $5 and up to support the mission of SOS!
We love the EBC. And it’s time to nurture and celebrate the ol’ bucket into some new territory.
Let’s get down to business!
Already an EBC member? Consider increasing your gift by $5 or $10 (or more!) per month. Email Philip to adjust your giving.
Not an EBC member yet? The minimum commitment to join the EBC is only $5 per month! Sign up today!

What are the perks of the EBC?
The big picture is that we want you. We believe in this work and we want you to be a part of it! Make our Kingdom-potluck better and truer and invest in and partner with us in this good work.
And in addition to stirring Kingdom metaphors (that we totally stand behind!), members receive a few perks including:
The Drain – A semi-regular publication for EBC members ONLY. Oft, and best, described as “quirky”, the Drain is full of exclusive news and throwback content you won’t want to miss.
Special gifts – We love growing your SOS swag collection with new & exclusive additions from time to time.
Voting rights – EBC members are invited to help make special decisions like vehicle naming, camp shirt colors or designs, pictures to display, etc. Get out the vote!
The Joy – Ah, the joy…of knowing that you are reinvesting in the next generation of SOS. For real. For real.
And: SOMETHING BIG! At a place, determined to be SOS in MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. At a date, to be determined to be FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2022. With themes and details, that have been determined to be AN SOS ALUMNI FAMILY REUNION CELEBRATION.
To honor your EBC-ness, the weekend is totally free of cost to you and your family members. RSVP today!
An important note that just must be said!
The Kingdom of God lacks nothing.
And yet, some of us have a little more treasure in Heaven than money at the end of the month, you know? We know.
Many of you have been a part of the EBC for years...some since you were still in college! And others just joined this year. We realize that some of you are giving incredibly sacrificially and do not have any room to increase your giving...sigh. Thank you! All gifts are gratefully received!
We also know that there may be some of you who are in a place where you are able to give much more than your original commitment (looking at you good people who joined as unemployed college students or with that first “real” job, but no longer live that Ramen life!).
Why this goal and why now?
The Lord has grown SOS’s impact significantly since the EBC began. And that continued even in the midst of a pandemic.
We praise God for that!
Like many organizations, COVID has caused us to make some radical shifts in our programming. While we celebrate all we've been able to accomplish in spite of a global pandemic, we are in a place where it is crucial, now more than ever, that we invest in a solid financial foundation to be able to continue living out our mission.
Funding from the SOS family (YOU!) is truly the most valuable to us because it is sustainable and we know that those contributing are fully bought-in to the mission.
