Blessing Box

what is a blessing box?

Our blessing boxes are community-run pantries that provide hygiene items for local residents to pick up anonymously (for the people, from the people). Our rule is: Leave what you can, take what you need, but don’t get crazy with it. More than just offering goods, we want to uplift our community and remind them that there are people in the world that still care. You shouldn’t have to worry about sacrificing your basic needs; the world is already stressful as it is.

Why we need this

 When you think about financial insecurity, most automatically focus on food and clothing. While those are major needs, what is often overlooked is hygiene poverty. Just because you can pay all of your bills, doesn’t mean that you can afford basic hygiene necessities.

who this is for

With the cost of living on the rise, many of us are living pay-check-to pay check. Our blessing boxes are for those with low income, no income, or just struggling. If you come across one of our Blessing Boxes and you somehow convince yourself that there’s someone else more in need or deserving, think again. This is for you.
