What is a blessing box?

A blessing box is essentially a mini food pantry. They are community boxes where people can grab food and necessities whenever is convenient to them. These boxes are placed around communities to help fight food insecurity. Anyone in need is welcome to visit the blessing box, just remember there are other people in the community who depend on this resource as well.
