CAMDEN, S.C. A Camden man is working to bless others with food during their time of need.
His name is Brent Rogers and for the past year and a half he’s been putting out ‘blessing boxes’ full of items like nonperishable foods, toiletries, baby wipes, and, at the animal shelter, items for pets.
“I’ve been clean and sober for about six years now and basically I wanted to honor the people that got me up out of where I was,” Rogers said. “Everybody’s welcome to take something if they need it, and it’s also a place for people to drop off that are blessed and want to bless others.”
Hoof and Paw is offering its support to the Kershaw County Humane Society (KCHS) by donating to its spay neuter program. Former KCHS Board Chair Dr Cindi Prestage gave two Hoof and Paw members the grand tour of the shelter.
