Turning into the Coastland Dr. side parking lot, you may notice FPC’s Blessing Box. Like the other Blessing Boxes around town, this is an outdoor cabinet stocked with non-perishable food items, basic toiletries, baby supplies, and anything else that might be considered a blessing to someone who finds themselves in need. Anyone may leave items in the box and anyone may take items they need.

The most needed Blessing Box items are:
Canned meats (tuna, salmon, ravioli)
canned corn
macaroni + cheese
tomato sauce
canned fruits in light syrup
low sodium soups
pasta + pasta sauce
low sodium mixed vegetables
canned chili
diced tomatoes
rice + brown beans (1 lb bags)
peanut butter + jelly
granola bars
oatmeal
applesauce
fruit cups
raisins
shelf stable milk
