Help us care for struggling RCS families through a Blessing Box this holiday season
Help us ensure vulnerable families in Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk are taken care of this holiday season with a Blessing Box. This is the seventh year Hope Full Life Center Inc., a Ravena-based charity located in Faith Plaza, will help local struggling families during the holidays through the Blessing Box Project.
The Blessing Boxes are filled with household paper products, cleaning supplies and some holiday food items. The boxes are distributed for free to struggling families in the community through Helping Harvest, a food assistance program run by the Center.
“We choose to put household cleaning supplies and paper products in the boxes because everyone needs these items and they cannot be purchased using SNAP benefits,” explained Rebecca Flach, executive director of Hope Full Life Center. “This means families pay out of pocket for basics like toilet paper and dish soap. We think they find value in receiving boxes full of these items topped off with some festive holiday foods and other grocery staples."
With $30 donations from the community and some of our own resources, the Center will buy the supplies, pack the bags and distribute them. Seventy five families received Blessing Boxes the week before Christmas from Hope Full Life Center in 2023.
Secure online donations for the Blessing Box Project can be made on our website. Checks can also be mailed to us at 49 S Clement Ave, Ravena, NY 12143. Or stop into Helping Harvest in Faith Plaza during business hours (Monday - Thursday and Saturday 10-2 and Wednesday and Friday 2-6) to drop off your donation. We are excited to share kindness with our neighbors this Christmas. Thank you for supporting our effort.
