This is how the box looked mid morning Sunday. I picked up about $40 in food this weekend for blessing box. I decided to keep half of the food and put in Monday after I got off work. I’ve heard that one person will take everything in the box. I really don’t care but would like to bless more than a person.
The box I use is next to the high school. I’m thinking my next reload that I am going to do snack bags geared to school age students students. Am thinking a drink, chips, granola bars, and such. I bought gallon ziplock bags to put items in. So they can grasp and go.
On bottom shelf I put hygiene products. Several items I had but wasn’t ever going to use. Next time I plan on putting individual toilet paper, laundry soap and small bottles of dish soap.
We are so blessed and I want to help others in need. This is just a small way I can help others. If everyone placed a few cans of food or even a loaf of bread we would be able to help so many more people in need. I personally plan on putting food in the Blessing Box every two weeks. Depending on my budget.
This week I put spaghetti, spaghetti sauce and a can of green beans in a ziplock bag. Made a couple of them. Then I made up a bag of tortillas, refried beans, red enchilada sauce, and a Spanish rice. I thought the meal kits would be kinda cool to put in the blessing boxes.
