Blessing Boxes are donation sites stocked with non-perishable food items, basic toiletries and other items that might be a blessing to someone in need.  A simple rule applies: “Leave what you can, take what you need.” Two boxes are located on the west entrance of the church parking lot, off of Greenwood Rd.
