Blessings Box - Kyle United Methodist Church
A few years ago, the young adults group from Kyle United Methodist Church installed a Blessings Box at the church (408 W. Lockhart) about 7-8 years ago.
Food insecurity is a big concern and there are many individuals and families in Kyle who are affected and many who would like to but don’t know to help. The blessings box is a place where ANYONE can come and pick up things to make sure they are fed tonight. Alternatively, folks can drop off/ donate items to help those in need. A lot of times it’s the same person at different times picking up and dropping off.
It’s a community effort and people from all walks of life and some groups and clubs have donated to the box. In addition to the donations from my family, for the past 5 years I have shopped once a month to donate to the box for Live Oak Lodge #304 (Kyle’s Masonic Lodge). If you’d like me to shop for you… please feel free to Venmo me and I’ll take care of it (@Sean-Claes).
This past year, a brand new box was built and installed at the same spot. This one is double the size of the original one.
The box is open 24/7 and is filled with non-perishable food and toiletries. The box is completely filled AND emptied every day. Sometimes multiple times. I see it as such an amazing testament to Kyle’s citizens caring and loving their neighbors.
