The Blessing Box is full, what can I do with the items I have?
If you had plans to donate to the blessing box, but upon arriving it is completely full and you don't wish to take your items back home with you, we will have a Donation Box in the foyer of the church clearly labeled. We will have a spot in the church to keep these items safe as an extra stock for times when it gets low.
If you have any questions or are unsure about some of the items you may have, ask those below as well.
