A “blessing box” is coming to the South Wheeling neighborhood this week.
Blessing boxes are outdoor storage closets filled with free food items and hygiene products for those who need them, and the public is encouraged to bring and donate items to the box for its continued use.
The South Wheeling box is the seventh of its kind to be placed in the Wheeling area. It will be opened to the public at 3:15 p.m. Thursday and located outside the Elks Lodge at 4706 Jacob St.
The blessing boxes are provided by the Ohio County Family Resource Network and the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling, who partner with local organizations that commit to routine monitoring and stocking of the boxes.
