Blessing Boxes Bring Hope to Food Desert | Winston–Salem News

In a neighborhood labeled a food desert, one teen’s Eagle Scout project is sparking real change: Ander Wickline installed “blessing boxes” near St. Mary’s Catholic Church, turning them into community pantries where people can donate and take food. Within days, the boxes were emptied and restocked — proof of community need and generosity. With over 82,000 people in Guilford County facing food insecurity, Wickline’s initiative is making a tangible difference, and the church is now exploring adding fresh produce. It’s a powerful example of how one person’s vision can feed an entire neighborhood. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
