We just filled up 3 in our local area we try to do it at least once a month. In one of the areas (the more urban area) I was actually surprised that after I filled it up a lady came over and knocked on my car window before I pulled away..she lived across the street and said she watched me fill up the box and wanted to thank me because she sees people go to the box for food and the community needs it. She sells leggings and gave me a pair as a thank you. It was so sweet I almost cried.....and I was also a little weirded out that someone was watching me the entire time and I did not know it....I apparently need to get better at situational awareness....LOL These blessing boxes are becoming more and more important to help those struggling around us.

I try to put stuff in our blessing box. Around Christmas I do sacks of little toys, dinosaurs and cars, bottom of the toy box size that can be given as small gifts. I also do cake , muffin, and cookie mixes in case someone needs to bring a dessert to a party. At Easter we put in plastic eggs with candy and toys. Every child should get to hunt eggs. Also before major holidays I buy spices like onion powder and garlic powder, salt, pepper, sugar, canned milk and other of the most basic pantry items. From experience, I know that those sorts of items were too expensive for our family. It was a treat to buy a new bottle of some sort of spice like ginger or vanilla.

I remember once when my sister - now deceased x 6 yrs and husband were on vacation in the Smoky Mountains. He really wanted to have lunch in a sit down restaurant but the Holy Spirit told her no- there is a homeless family with children at Burger King. Go there ,buy the family meals- extra 4 meals plus hers and husbands and give them enough cash to buy a dinner meal. She wasn’t a talker,was obese and wanted to question the Holy Spirit but she did exactly what was asked. She knew immediately which family when she walked in- bought them meals and gave the Father $100. She was blessed with a free night at hotel,discounts on purchases at gift and souvenirs store,plus much more. When we are faithful and obedient to His demands- He rewards us

❤The city we live in has many churches that give to the hungry. Our rent for our apartment has doubled in rent in 5 years. We would love to move but don't because it's so expensive everywhere in the area of my husband's jobs. All the houses are purchased by contractors to flip.The neighborhood we did like has doubled in property value. I have been sick 2 years with long standing Covid. I am not supposed to be around people or I could contract Covid again. We totally depend on my husband's earnings. Thank you for providing us some ideas on cooking meals on a tight budget. We are lucky we live where if we need to we can go to churches for help with food. We don't want to, we would rather be giving not receiving. We are praying for God to restore my lungs so I can work again. We are praying for the economy, for no one to lose jobs and for prices to decrease especially for food. Thank you Brooke and your family for having a giving heart. Many people have no empathy for the poor. ❤

I'm relearning how to do pretty much everything I never gave much of a thought about before this happened but I thank God everyday that He allowed me to make it through this and He gives me the strength I need to get through the tough days of my recovery. When I finally can walk somewhat normally again, I am going to go shopping and take a whole bunch of stuff to the local food bank. You have definitely inspired me in more ways than I can count.

Maybe the local senior center? There are a lot of seniors who struggle every end off the month too. 😊

I think it’s pretty amazing that you hand wrote all of the directions. You could’ve just printed them on the computer, but the handwritten recipe is just special. Thanks for your effort.

This is amazing! Please allow the ads to play on this video so the revenue can help Brooke continue to help her community! ❤

You’re so awesome Brooke, you are a blessing and an inspiration to the community around you, but also to your wider audience. You inspired me, we are now donating to our blessing boxes.I would encourage anyone to help when and how you can, it’s a small thing we can do, but a big thing to a struggling family who desperately need it. God bless you and your family for all that you do. 🙏🏽🌹🕊️🥰 p.s. I’m seeing that all the food should probably be donated to the food bank, so that they can see to it that it is distributed fairly.

Pls do donate. Our church sponsors one and it is getting harder and harder to find the food to affordably fill it. Look through your pantry and see what you can give and when you see a great sale, pick up some stuff for your neighbors!

Bless you Brooke and your family and the lovely subscribers who sent you the money!! And when you are shopping I know you kind of focus on families. Bur please remember senior citizens on social security. As a senior citizen I get a social security deposit. But between bill, rent and other things that come up, there are months that after the bills are paid I don't have much money left for groceries. I have a pantry so I won't starve but I'm sure there are other senior citizens who don't have much food or money at the end of the month. As they say in the mil, "Too much month at the end of the money." Thank you for your entertaining videos and for having such a big heart!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I also think when we share good deeds on a platform, we inspire others and/or plant a seed. A person’s heart knows the difference and that’s all the matters! How could anyone else ever know?! Thank you for sharing.

The small baptist church a mi from me has a shed that gets restocked daily from donations within the community. I’ve been thru hard times and little sheds like this and local food banks were amazing. When I’m able- I make donations to the Baptist church food pantry

Brooke, you have been a great inspiration to me. I lost my son 7 years ago this month and the only way I have found to try and heal is to help others. These are such great ideas. Thank you & God bless your beautiful family.
