No one in Marshall County should go hungry, and the blessing boxes through Marcella’s Kitchen helps ensure that. Blessing boxes are boxes filled with food that are open 24/7 at multiple county-wide locations, making food easily and discreetly accessible to all families struggling with food insecurity.
Since 2020, Marcella’s Kitchen has added seven new blessing box locations, now totaling 21 boxes scattered throughout Marshall County. They will build and install boxes at any location that requests one, coming to fill them up or supplement donations, as needed
Canned and dry goods can be found within the boxes, along with hygiene items or supplies for the home. Families are encouraged to take what they need. The blessing boxes are how Marcella’s Kitchen uses the goods they cannot in their kitchen, and how they are using their donations through the Christmas donation drive at Mike Miller Park.
If you are interested in installing a blessing box at your church or business, or would like to make a donation, contact Marcella’s Kitchen at marcellaskitchenserves@gmail.com, through their Facebook page or by visiting their location at 868 Guy Mathis Drive, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
