Love to open up Facebook and see this! Huge thanks to our Reynoldsburg neighbors Vick's Gourmet Pizzeria for your kindness and generosity. We love to see neighbors supporting our blessing box!

Kitchen Manager Jason and Charlotte started distributing toilet paper today to some of the local blessing boxes around Reynoldsburg! We collected 148 rolls of TP for our little community.
We will donate to helping hands and Joseph's coat of Reynoldsburg this weekend when they are open!

πŸ‹ TOMORROW is the big day....We hope you'll join us! πŸ‹

The πŸŽ‰ third annual πŸŽ‰ Doty family (that's us!) lemonade stand will be held TOMORROW (Saturday, 8/19) from 12-5pm. And, like the last two years, 100% of money raised will go to filling blessing boxes - including this box and others in Reynoldsburg - through the Columbus Blessing Boxes Project. The combined total between our 2021 and 2022 events was just shy of $2800. πŸ™Œ We're praying this year's event will allow us to make just as big an impact, if not more. πŸ’“

Here's the scoop:

πŸ‹ Saturday, August 19, 12-5ish (Rain date is same time on Saturday, 8/26. But - as of right now - the weather looks to be gorgeous!)
πŸ‹ Woodsfield Place in Pickerington - cul-de-sac at the corner of Granden and Woodsfield Place (PM me for exact address if you'd like, but you'll see us there on the corner)
πŸ‹ Fresh made lemonade, fresh baked cookies and brownies, chocolate covered Oreos and white chocolate dipped Rice Krispies (see pictures of some of last year's goodies in the comments). New to this year's lineup: White chocolate drizzled Fruity Pebble Rice Krispies, white chocolate covered golden Oreos, and black and white cookies.
πŸ‹ Lastly, because so many people asked the last two years, we can offer options for electronic donation. Zelle (740-602-1620) or PayPal ([email protected] - please use friends and family option to avoid fees being taken out).
πŸ‹ We would be grateful if you'd spread the word through sharing this post.

Stay up to date on all lemonade stand info - and see how
Jonas spends the money raised - at Blessing Box Adventures with Jonas.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and support of our precious boy. We are so excited to see what kind of a difference we can make in our community through this little lemonade stand.

See you all TOMORROW!

πŸ‹ It's that time again! πŸ‹

Our third annual family lemonade stand will be held from 12-5 on Saturday, August 19. And, like the last two years, 100% of money raised will go to filling blessing boxes through the Columbus Blessing Boxes Project, this particular blessing box and others throughout Reynoldsburg included. πŸ’“

Shopping for and filling these boxes is something our son Jonas loves to do, and having a lemonade stand to raise money for this cause was 100% his sweet little idea. We were blown away when his 2021 lemonade stand raised $1465. The outpouring of support was both humbling and overwhelming - especially from folks in the community we had never even previously met! - and we were able to purchase so much food and fill so many blessing boxes with that money! Jonas wanted to have another lemonade stand in 2022, and so we did....not expecting it yo be as successful. But the combined total between our 2021 and 2022 events was just shy of $2800. πŸ™Œ This money has helped keep so many blessing boxes full, including this one that we host. We're praying this year's event will allow us to make just as big an impact, if not more.

Here's the scoop:

πŸ‹ Saturday, August 19 (weather permitting,
12-5ish. Rain date is same time on Saturday, 8/26.)
πŸ‹ Woodsfield Place in Pickerington -
cul-de-sac at the corner of Granden and
Woodsfield Place (PM me for exact address
if you'd like, but you'll see us there on the
corner)
πŸ‹ Fresh made lemonade, fresh baked cookies
and brownies, chocolate covered Oreos and white
chocolate dipped Rice Krispies (see
pictures of some of last year's goodies
in the comments). New to this year's lineup: White chocolate
drizzled Fruity Pebble Rice Krispies and black and white
cookies.
πŸ‹ Pre-order deals available: Freshly made
chocolate chip cookies or brownies, $10/
dozen, ready for pickup on August 19 (or
drop-off at church or work, depending).
Must pay for all pre-orders by Wednesday,
August 16. Send me a PM or comment
below to place your order. Last year I baked about 200
cookies for pre-orders. I dare you to make me double that
this year. πŸ’“
πŸ‹ Lastly, because so many people asked the last two
years, we can offer options for electronic
donation. Zelle (740-602-1620) or PayPal

Thank you in advance for your kindness and support of our precious boy. We are so excited to see what kind of a difference we can make in our community through this little lemonade stand.

We had the pleasure of filling the blessing box yesterday with donations we've received through our Amazon wishlist from two different families. We were so happy and surprised to see the box already well stocked when we arrived! πŸ’“

As a friendly reminder: Whenever you visit the box, please be sure to park where the white truck is in the pictures below. You can see what is happening around the box (a nice, big muddy mess) because people are pulling up on the grass right in front of the box. There are even tire tracks going right up into the mulch. Let's help keep things nice by parking in the designated gravel area. πŸ’“

We just received a lovely yet anonymous donation from our Amazon wishlist! If this was from you, THANK YOU. πŸ’“ We are so grateful for the generosity that allows this box to continue to be a blessing to others.

Hi friends! Thanks to the canned food drive at Waggoner Road Middle School, we were able to restock the box on this beautiful day. πŸ’“

In other news: We've heard from some of you, and have personally experienced, that the area in front of the box is so extremely muddy that it's difficult to access. We want to ask that you please avoid driving off the road and parking directly in front of the box. As you can see from the pictures, tires are tearing up the ground here and making a mess (also causing accessibility issues). There's a nice gravel parking area immediately to the side of the box (see where the truck is parked in the pics below) and we are asking that you park there instead. This will help protect the ground and make using the blessing box an easier and less muddy experience for all. Thanks for helping us with this! πŸ’“

We are SO grateful for the community members who help keep our box full.

Have you wanted to help, but you either live too far away or you're too busy and can't seem to find time? Consider shopping from our Amazon wishlist. Items purchased from this list will be delivered to the Doty family (the hosts of this box), who will then transport the items to the box on your behalf. Pictures will be taken and shared as donated items are placed in the box - this will help you see your generosity and kindness in action! This wishlist has made it possible for people as far away as Florida to help keep our box full. πŸ’“
