Wayne Church Establishes a “Blessing Box”
t was an idea born locally of a television news story. An unlocked container, identified with large letters as a “Blessing Box” was left in a place with public access. Its simple message conveyed its purpose, “Take what you need, leave what you can.” Several members of the Community Outreach Team from the Packanack Community Church in Wayne happened to see this broadcast, and all felt that such a box could be an effective way of keeping food, toiletries, and paper products coming in throughout the week while at the same time remaining available for those in need. “These are hard times for many families, and we hope that the donations we receive will be a “blessing” for them,” said COT Chairperson Lise Seela. But early on, when the box was placed by the church, the prospects for its success were uncertain.

The idea of donating what you can while taking what you need was a new concept for a congregation that has long conducted drives that solicited food, clothing, books, and diapers for the less fortunate. But it worked, so well in fact that the box is visited daily by both those donating as well as those who are in need. And when the box if overflowing, the donations are
often shared with the Wayne Interfaith Network and The Father English Center— both organizations long affiliated with the church. The “Blessing Box” is located across the street from the church, 120 Lake Drive East in Wayne and is there for those wishing to donate and for those who might benefit from its contents.
