No fanfare. No thank yous.
Just people helping people.
Avilla rallied around the idea, and a Blessing Box has been in place since April 12 on the southern edge of the south parking lot of Hope Restoration Church on Baum Street in Avilla.
A Blessing Box is a simple concept. Non-perishable food items are stocked in a box. Anyone with a need can go to the box at any time of day or night, and take items.
The box is never locked. It does sit under a street light to aid visibility for those who may wish to contribute â or need to take from it â at night.
