What is the Blessing Box?
The Confirmation Class of 2020 collaborated with Gary Whitley to conceive, construct, and install our latest initiative, the Little Free Pantry, alternatively referred to as a blessings box. This endeavor serves as an avenue to support individuals in need within the Rock Hill Community.

How Does it Work?
Well its just like your pantry at home, if you need something out of it, you should be able to walk up and take it, no questions asked. We are taught that God's love is unearned, and unconditional, so in that spirit, anyone in need is welcome to come take what they need from the Pantry. We will try to restock it as often as possible and need your help to support this ministry!
