Spring Food Drive to Support Community “Blessing Box”

St. John the Divine Anglican Church is inviting the community to take part in a Spring Food Drive in support of its neighbourhood “Blessing Box,” a grassroots initiative that helps supplement food for those in need.
Donations of non-perishable food items are most welcomed and can be dropped off at the church office Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, at 579–5th Street, Courtenay.
The Blessing Box, located on 5th Street (in front of the church), is a community-driven effort that provides accessible food support to anyone who needs it. Contributions from the public help ensure the box remains stocked and available as a simple, dignified way of caring for neighbours.
“We’re grateful for the generosity of our community,” said Rev. Alastair Hunting. “Small acts of kindness, like donating a few food items can make a real difference in someone’s day.”
For more information, please contact the church office at St. John the Divine Anglican Church.
