Neighbors helping neighbors
Blessing Box
A community-supported pantry built on a simple, powerful idea: give what you can, take what you need.
What is the Blessing Box?
The Blessing Box is more than a pantry. It is a 24/7, no-questions-asked resource for our community, and a physical sign of our commitment to love our neighbors in a practical, meaningful way.
It stands as a testament to radical generosity, offering dignity and support to anyone facing a temporary hardship or in need of a helping hand. The box is for everyone: no judgment, no requirements, just anonymous support from one neighbor to another.
For those in need
If you or your family need food or essential items, visit the Blessing Box at any time, day or night.
- Take what you need
- Open the door and take the items that will help you.
- No questions asked
- There are no forms to fill out, no one to check in with, and no judgment.
- A gift from your neighbors
- This is a gift from your community, for you.
