I am so very thankful for the Blessing Box, to keep it succinct…read more I live in the area. I've got a rented roof, and I have a job. I have a car. But sometimes, just every so often, things don't synch up the way they ideally should. I live paycheck to paycheck, unexpected costs come up, prices fluctuate. And sometimes things are great, I have a lil' more than I need be it food, books, toiletries... I first leaned of this place a few years back. It intrigued me. I've loaded it up, I've filled it with food products, and I've shelved it with fresh literature. I've left beverages and cat food. And there are times I've returned to acquire such things when I find myself just a day or two short on funds or food. This isn't often at all, but it's been the matter of having a warm dinner vs nothing at all. A box of Mac and cheese, and maybe a can of beans, or whatever. I plan on swinging by tomorrow to drop off a delivery, a mix of things, as thanks to the Blessing Box. This is community right here.

The Blessing Box isn't exactly a business, it's a no-question-type food drop for any and all who…read moremight feel the need to drop off food items, or for those who need food items. It's in an open, secure area, and it's kept clean and neat. It's available at all hours, all days. It's one of the better community service ideas in our area, and I'm proud of Hallsdale Powell for supporting this endeavor. Five-bucks buys a lot of mac 'n cheese. Oatmeal for a good, filling breakfast. Sometimes, I slip a little toy in there. (Living, isn't all about food, you know.) I've seen canned goods, dried goods, even a colour book or two! You just hop outta your vehicle and drop-off or pick-up. No questions asked. Heck! There's no one there TO ask. If the need exists, The Blessing Box is there...

While others had complained about the slow service at the former Food City Branch, even with it's…read moreSaturday hours and late evening, I wonder how they are feeling now? When Food City moved to it's new location, the branch was not moved also. Now, we have the one 'main branch" with longer than long lines, inexperienced tellers (in some cases) who seem to think they have to take the time in the drive-thru to print a balance on the back of your receipt when you make a deposit and y'all can wait in lines while business use the drive-thru to deposit or get coins for their daily use or do multiple transactions. If you thought it took awhile before, welcome to the new, "we don't need another branch that close by" routine.
