A “Blessing Box” has been placed outside the Rippey United Methodist Church. Food items, donated by church members, have been put in it to help those in the community who need food. Because winter is coming on, anything that could freeze and explode is not being put in such as canned items and juice. Food items being accepted are noodles, macaroni, hamburger and tuna helpers, bread, peanut butter, muffin and cake mixes, and like foods that won’t freeze. Hopefully, this will become a blessing for the church to give and to those who receive.
