Introducing the Community Chest:
Give What You Can, Take What You Need
We’re thrilled to introduce a new way to care for one another: the Community Chest. Think of it as a shared table of generosity, where every item carries a whisper of kindness.
Here’s how it works: bring what you can like groceries, cleaning supplies, or gently used home goods—and place them on the Community Chest table. If you’re in need, feel free to shop from the table at no cost. If you’re in a position to give a little extra, you’re welcome to leave a donation for anything you take. All proceeds will go directly to our local food bank.
What should you bring?
· Perishable items you won’t use before they spoil
· Buy-one-get-one-free deals you don’t need both of
· That fancy candle you lit once and realized wasn’t your scent
· Extra cleaning supplies, unopened toiletries, or kitchen gadgets with life left in them
This isn’t just a donation table, it’s a small act of mutual care. It’s a way to reduce waste, support one another, and pass a little love along to our neighbors in need.
Why Now?
We know things are feeling a bit chaotic right now. There’s uncertainty in the economy, and growing concerns about potential shortages of everyday items. During times like these, being part of a caring community is more important than ever. The Community Chest is one way we can respond, not with fear, but with generosity and trust.
We may not know what the future holds, but we do know this: we are not alone. We have each other. And that makes all the difference.
Let’s stock the chest with hope, with kindness, and maybe a few extra rolls of toilet paper, just in case.
