Blessing Box

"Take what you need, Leave what you can"

The Blessing Box is a community exchange (mostly) for food and groceries. It is free and open to all. If you are in need of some items, please come by and take a look. If you have some extra items, please drop them off.

Items that are in high demand:

- Peanut butter

- Shelf-stable proteins (tuna, etc.)

- Soups

- Canned vegetables and fruit

- Cereal Bars

This is one of a number of such boxes around Santa Fe. For larger donations, we recommend H.I.S. Ministries.

If the box needs attention, please let the church office know.
