If you drive down the beautiful streets of Goldonna, cross the railroad tracks and come to a complete stop at the stop sign and look to the left you will notice a small box. This is called “The Blessing Box.” This box was the brainchild of Goldonna Assembly of God youth leaders, Sarah and Seth Johnson. They wanted to find a way to be a blessing to the community and settled on this idea. Community members can leave nonperishable items in the box such as food items, books, or clothing. If someone is in need they can visit the box. Everything is completely free of charge and given out of the goodness of your heart. The Johnson’s along with the youth group played a role in building and installing the box.
“The name of the box says it all,” shares Pastor Timmy Harris.
