Help keep our Blessing Box stocked with food and snacks for neighbors in need. Volunteers help organize donations, restock supplies, check inventory, and keep the box clean and welcoming. You can serve by donating nonperishable food items, especially healthy snacks for school-age children, or by helping maintain the Blessing Box throughout the year. Suggested donations include granola bars, trail mix, cracker packs, raisins, fruit pouches, juice boxes, and other easy-to-share snacks. This flexible opportunity provides direct support to local individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

Even small donations can make a difference. Southminster collects clean, reusable egg cartons for the Waukesha Food Pantry as part of our commitment to supporting local hunger-relief efforts. The pantry often receives eggs in large bulk shipments from farms, grocery stores, and other partners. Donated egg cartons allow volunteers to safely repackage those eggs into family-sized quantities for distribution to pantry clients. 

Interested in helping? Save your empty cartons and bring them to church on Sunday mornings.
