Take what you need, give what you can
Generous Hands began providing food in March 2021 through our Blessing Box (little free pantry) located at our 606 Spruce St offices. Our second Blessing Box is located at Portage Terrace (11247 Portage Road). The third Blessing Box is located in Climax, in front of the library. Volunteers stock the Blessing Boxes each week. If you would like help with food items for the Blessing Boxes, donations can be delivered to the 606 Spruce St location.
Food items needed: soups/canned pasta, Mac-n-cheese, granola bars, cereal bars, small boxes of cereal, fruit cups, peanut butter, jelly, individually wrapped snacks
Hygiene items needed: bar soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene items, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, disposable razors, toilet paper
Sheri Louis, Executive Director of Generous Hands, notes “The Blessing Box is a way for neighbors to help neighbors. We look forward to placing more Blessing Boxes in the Vicksburg community.”
