A small wooden cabinet erected just outside of First United Methodist Church in Bertram is seen by locals as a blessing to the community, which is why they call it a blessing box. 
The Bertram Blessing Box, at 115 North St., provides food around the clock as the Bertram Food Pantry is only open from 1-3 p.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursdays. The food pantry is located at 520 Texas 29 East.
