.📬 HELP STOCK OUR BLESSING BOX! 📬
Our outdoor Blessing Box at Clinton First United Methodist Church (4th & Blackman Streets, Clinton, IN) is running low on food and we need your help to restock it!
As temperatures rise, we are specifically asking for non-perishable food items that can withstand summer heat.
☀️ Heat-Safe Items Needed Most:
Canned meals with pull-tabs: Ravioli, chili, stew, hearty soups, baked beans
Canned proteins: Tuna, chicken, salmon, Vienna sausages
Dry staples: Rice, pasta, instant potatoes, ramen noodles, boxed mac & cheese
Snack packs: Peanut butter crackers, fruit cups, applesauce pouches, granola bars, trail mix
Drinks & extras: Shelf-stable juice boxes, peanut butter, jam (in plastic containers), powdered drink mix packets.
(Please avoid chocolate, candles, or anything in glass containers that can crack or melt in the heat!)
🤲 3 Ways to Donate:
1. Directly Fill the Box Yourself
Anyone is welcome to drop items straight into the Blessing Box on the side of the church at any time! If you see space on the shelves, feel free to fill it up directly.
2. Call or Text for Larger Drop-Offs
If you have a larger donation or extra bags that won't fit in the box:
📞 Call or Text: 812-240-3030 to coordinate a quick indoor drop-off time.
3. Items can also be donated via the Wal-Mart Registry for the Blessing Box or you may instead donate via PayPal - (links found on the web at https://clintonfirst.org/fumc/support-our-community)
This is an ongoing community effort—take what you need, leave what you can! Thank you for helping us keep our neighbors fed. ❤️
