The Capt. Doc’s Bounty Box has been refilled with a few essentials including ready-to-make meals, breakfast items, body wipes, Bibles and more. ❤️

Every single item placed in this box is possible because of donations through our Amazon Wish List and the kindness of so many people in our community. We truly thank each and every one of you for helping us help others.

A huge thank you as well to the Barnes family at Busta-Lime Premium Frozen Drinks for proudly hosting the box and supporting this mission from day one.

We sincerely ask that everyone please limit themselves to 4 items per person per day so we can continue helping as many people and families as possible. Thank y’all again for the love and support.

It’s with a lot of thought, prayer, and honestly a heavy heart that we have to make this post.

Twice now, someone has completely emptied the entire Capt. Doc’s Bounty Box for themselves. At first, I stayed quiet because I understand people are struggling, and maybe someone was trying to feed their family. But after it happening again in less than a week, something has to change.

The Capt. Doc’s Bounty Box was created to help the ENTIRE community. And it truly does. We know because we’ve seen it firsthand and people have personally told us how much it has helped them get through hard times.

But when one person wipes everything out, it leaves nothing for the single mom needing dinner for her kids, the elderly person needing basic supplies, or the person just trying to make it through the day. That’s simply not fair to everyone else relying on it.

So moving forward, we are asking that everyone please limit themselves to 4 items per person, per day so the box can continue helping as many people as possible. If the system continues to be abused, access to the box may unfortunately have to be restricted.

Please understand… this is the last thing we wanted to do. The whole purpose of the Bounty Box has always been simple:

“Take what you need. Leave what you can.”

To everyone who has donated, shared, stocked, prayed for, or supported this mission in any way — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We ask that you continue supporting it if you’re able, because there are truly people in our community depending on it.

God bless you all. ❤️

Thanks to the incredible support from our community—donations made right there on site, items sent through our Amazon wishlist, and the generosity of our amazing charter customers—we were able to completely restock the box today.

Right now it’s packed with:
• Personal care & hygiene items
• Quick, ready-to-make meals
• Breakfast items
• Bottled water
• And a whole lot more

To everyone who has given to this mission… THANK YOU. You are the reason this works.

And a special thank you to Busta-Lime Premium Frozen Drinks for allowing us to host the Bounty Box and supporting what we’re trying to do for the community. We couldn’t do this without you.

I’ve got to share something that really hit me today…
Right after we finished stocking it, someone walked up and told us that a lot of people rely on that box just to eat. They thanked us from the bottom of their heart.

Man… that choked me up.

To see this little pantry actually doing what it was meant to do… helping real people in real need… it hit different. It reminded me that even the smallest acts can make a big impact.

God works through all of us. And together, we’re making a difference right here in our own backyard.

Take what you need… Leave what you can.
