JENISON, Mich — A teen's efforts to become an Eagle Scout are benefitting the community in a big way.
Gabriel Gloria, 17, decided to create two large, white "Blessing Boxes" outside Georgetown United Methodist Church. The cabinets are stocked with essentials to help those in need.
The boxes help to expand the availability and accessibility of the church's Community Cupboard Food Pantry.
"I figured that it would probably be a nice way to help the church and their food pantry program," explained Gloria. "We have canned food supplies, we have cleaning supplies, we've included some toiletries, and some other feminine hygiene products... It's year round, all day, every day. Just a better alternative than waiting select hours for the church pantry, which obviously hours are limited."
