What are Blessing Boxes?
Blessing Boxes are outdoor, publicly-located cabinets that allow for people to anonymously donate items to bless others in need. These boxes can include: non-perishable food items, basic toiletries, baby supplies, pet food, or anything else that might be considered a blessing to someone in need. There are approximately 100 boxes throughout Central Ohio and on average are visited up to 5 times day.
We are collecting donations all of August & September. Drop it off at Cityview Church. See list of donations below.
