Bounty and Soul is an incredible organization!…read more Taken directly from their website, this is a snippet of why I think that they're so incredible: Mission Connecting people to food, education and each other. Vision No one hungry. Everyone healthy. Core Values We honor each other. We care for, engage with, and learn from each other. We support and value everyone. We co-create safe, inclusive communities. We treat everyone with dignity and respect. We celebrate differences. We welcome all. We believe in whole person health. We see fresh healthy food, education, and social connections as a foundation for optimal health and well-being. Bounty and Soul is an organization who believe in feeding people to create community. They have a few different programs including their market, health classes, zumba, and gardening and dig days. I've volunteered with their market twice now and plan to make it a regular part of my month. Bounty and Soul collects produce from groceries in town that would otherwise send them to the landfill, they set the food up as a market, and then people come and get the food to take it home and eat. This is a way to bring people together. They don't consider themselves a food bank but definitely feed a lot of people in our community. The staff and volunteers at Bounty and Soul really rock. They work hard to make a lovely experience for everyone involved.

I was contacted within a couple hours of submitting an information request and set up a day and time for my group within a day! Arriving at the location was easy with the directions, signage, and big parking lot. We filled out some simple paperwork and were lead into the back. Our leader gave us a quick history of the food bank and the amount of people they serve, its incredible! Families can come 1x/month. We were lead into the food pantry back where instructions were given about produce packing, pantry item distribution, and building carts of food based on family size. It was very organized and easy to do. We had a great time meeting other volunteers, learning about the food bank, and giving carts of food to those in need. It was sad bringing carts of food out to people and never receiving a "thank you." It makes you wonder what happened to these people that they don't show gratitude to the volunteers of Harvest Hope. I hope the workers get an overflow of blessings and gratitude in other ways.

An unobtrusive structure that you may not notice while driving on Rock Hill Road. The Blessing Box looks a little bit like a chicken coup. The story behind this blessing in the parking lot of a Baptist, Church in Concord is by the hands of a thoughtful, local preteen boy looking to love on the community. He was able to create a repository of food, information and inspiration. Anyone who wants can provide or partake of nonperishable items and groceries anonymously. I stopped by after admiring the gesture and decided to add a few items. I plan to do so regularly. It is written... "God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

As my sister and I placed various items on the shelves we couldn't help but realize how this blessing box is such a Godsend to so many families that are struggling and may not have food on their table. The Blessing box sits in the parking lot of a small church (Living Faith Church Of The Brethren) a few feet from Rock Hill Church Road, which is a pretty busy street, where people see the Blessing Box and slow down to count their blessings or be a blessing to others. The Blessing Box is always neat, well organized and very well stocked with soups, vegetables, pasta, snacks and books to name a few items. The placards on it says "Take what you need - Leave what you can," (so heart warming). The Blessing Box was Carlin's way of giving back to the community while working towards his Eagle Scout requirement, but little did he know that he would be the bridge that carries some families across. Kudos call Carlin and everyone who supports his project.
