Grace Memorial is honored to host a Blessing Box as a year-round source of hope, dignity, and care for our neighbors in need. This outdoor box allows our community to share food and essential items freely.
Because the pantry is outdoors and exposed to seasonal temperatures, only certain items are safe and suitable for donation. Please use the suggestions below to help us maintain a healthy, safe, and welcoming Blessing Box for all.
