Blessings box installed at RMUMC

Blessings Boxes, which houses a variety of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and other essentials for those in need, are appearing in cities across America. Wills Point is now home to its own located by the west entrance of the Deen Building of Russell Memorial United Methodist Church on the corner of 4th Street and Orville. In March of this year, members of the church discussed the need for a Blessings Box in Wills Point to supplement local food agencies. Local Boy Scout Aiden Nychka, learned of this need and designed one for his Eagle Scout project.

It is open 24/7 and is free to everyone. Nychka’s hope is that this box not only helps the people of Wills Point with goods, but that it encourages others to join in the effort, whether by resupplying the Blessings Box or by setting up similar boxes across our community. Nychka is not alone in his hope. The church feels these helpful boxes will bring blessings to all who recognize the need and give. The sign on the Blessings Box really says it all: “Take what you need. Leave what you can. Above all be blessed.”
