The Oxford KAY (Kansas Association for Youth) Club completed its major community service project this Friday with the installation of an Oxford Community Blessing Box. The box, located in front of the Lion's Club Pavilion, aims to provide support and resources to those facing food insecurity and other challenges within our community. Throughout the year, the KAY club plans to restock the box every month, and community members are encouraged to take what they need or leave what goods they can as a collaborative pantry. The concept of the Community Blessing Box is simple: take what you need, give what you can. Stocked with non-perishable food items, personal care products, and other essentials, the box fosters a sense of connection and compassion within our community. It's a simple but impactful way to support each other in times of need. Whether you're in a position to donate items or in need of some essentials, our Blessing Box is here for you. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors and build a stronger, more resilient community for all. The installation of the Community Blessing Box is made possible through the collaborative efforts of the OHS KAY Club, the OHS Woods class, and the City of Oxford. For more information about the Community Blessing Box or KAY club, including how to donate or get involved, please contact Katlyn Avritt at katlynavritt@usd358.com.
