The Charleston Alumni Chapter is kicking off the new year with a community service project that will reach so many in the Lowcountry, the Lowcountry Blessing Box Project. Blessing Boxes are 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. Items are anonymously donated and anonymously received and available at any time day or night. One simple rule applies - leave what you can, take what you need.
The Charleston Alumni Chapter will flood Blessing Boxes the weekend of Feb. 25-27. Visit the Lowcountry Blessing Box website to locate a Blessing Box near you. If you are unable to donate non-perishable items to a Blessing Box, you can make a donation online via their website.
As you drop off donations to a Blessing Box, snap a photo and send it to the Alumni Association at alumni@winthrop.edu so we can share our community support with other alumni and hopefully inspire them to do something similar in their communities.
