What is a Blessing Box?
The mission of the AFC Blessing Box ministry to to point people to Jesus by creating opportunities to learn and grow by helping to stretch household budgets through blessing boxes. Boxes may include personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, paper products, and more. Those requesting a Blessing Box must meet with a member of the Blessing Box ministry team and are required to go through the intake process. The process is simple and helps ministry leadership collect and maintain information that measures the effectiveness of the mission.
The process will take 10-15 minutes. In this time, we will collect pertinent contact information, take a copy of a state issued ID, and a copy of a piece of mail with current address. All conversations and information taken will remain confidential.

Everyone Feels Better With New Clothes!
The AFC Clothes Closet extends the usefulness of gratefully-used clothing by sharing it with our neighbors. Do you need to clean out your closets and get rid of items you haven’t worn in a while? We accept gently used clothing in all sizes as well as NEW socks and NEW underwear.
