🌷 March Is Belinda’s Month — A Call to Kindness, Compassion, and Community 🌷

This March, Blessing Box Ministry is honored to celebrate Belinda’s Month — a time dedicated to generosity, service, and the heart of giving. As we reflect on her legacy, we’re reminded of the simple but powerful message:

“Kindness. Pass it on.”

Just like the hands offering a box of hope…
Just like the love behind every meal, every hygiene kit, every prayer…
Just like the people in our community who show up with open hearts…

Belinda’s Month is a reminder that every act of kindness matters.

GIVE TODAY and let's make Belinda's Day Month special!

Blessing Box Ministry is excited to kick off a brand‑new year of service, outreach, and community impact. We’re hosting our first Board Meeting of the year, and we’re opening the door for friends, supporters, and community members who want to learn more about joining our mission.

Joining the board shown in the photo below, are Nina McNeill, stepping into the role of Vice President, and Cornelia Malloy, who will serve as Marketing and Fundraiser Director. Both women bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and passion for community outreach. Their commitment to the mission of Blessing Box Ministry—serving with grace, dignity, and practical support—was evident from the moment they accepted their roles.
