Our new blessing box is up and running. This is a great way for community members to donate or take food and hygiene items as they need to. You are welcome to take from and give to this blessing box.
Blessing boxes have taken off over the last decade, providing a way for people to access food in the community. Some donated items you might find in a blessing box are non-perishable food items, toiletries, and other essentials.- Addresses Food Insecurity: Boxes are placed in high-traffic and food-insecure areas that provide food and supplies for those experiencing food insecurity
- Free Access and Anonymous: Anyone can drop off items, and anyone can take items.
- Community-Based: Blessing boxes are often placed in public spaces, such as near libraries, community centers, or businesses.
