The "Blessing Box" in Nashville, Ark., is doing what it's supposed to do-produce inspired blessings.
The box has no lock, and it's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Without a doubt, the box is also filling a need in the community.
"The concept of a Blessing Box started with a small group of Husqvarna employees who were passionate about helping people in need in the Nashville, Ark., and surrounding communities," said Joe Wilson, a human resource director with Husqvarna.
Initially, a food pantry was considered, and this evolved into the Blessing Box, which provides 24-hour access every day for those in need. Once the team made their decision, Husqvarna provided the financial support and maintenance resources to construct the Blessing Box, Wilson said.
"The Blessing Box is helping those less fortunate in the community by providing nonperishable food items and personal care items," he said.
"This project is all about helping out our neighbors in the community. This is not simply a Husqvarna Blessing Box. It is the local community's Blessing Box. Without the support of Husqvarna employees and the local community to stock the Blessing Box, it could not be sustained," Wilson said.
"Even with the support the box receives from our employees and the community there are often times when the demand is more than the supply and the shelves are left bare," he said.
"The response to the Blessing Box has been very good, demonstrating the fact that there are those in the community who would otherwise go to bed hungry," Wilson said.
"We encourage those in the local community who are fortunate enough to help out to do so by placing items in the Blessing Box or simply drop them off at the Husqvarna office. For this project to continue to provide for those in need, it will take the generosity of all those in the community who are able to 'leave what they can' so those less fortunate can 'take what they need,'" Wilson said.
