We are starting to fill our blessings box with a variety of blessings for the community. We are collecting canned foods and personal hygiene products. If you could add a couple non-perishable food items (or shelf stable perishable items, like crackers, healthy snacks, granola bars, boxed meal kits, etc), or things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, feminine hygiene products, deodorants, etc to your weekly shopping list we could really do some good in the community. When the weather gets colder we will add hats, mittens and scarves to the box, and maybe a coat or two if we have room, in case you want to plan ahead. WE hope to keep the Blessings Box continuously filled, so keep a few items coming each week!
