micah 6:8 mission started in 2018 with a Blessing Box on W. Verdine Street in Sulphur. Our founder, Cindy Robertson, with help from her church family, put up a food box in front of her house. The motto of the box is “take some if you need it, leave some if you have it.” Verdine Street neighbors who do not have access to sufficient food have been blessed by the box: once they are employed again, many bring food to fill it and are joined by other neighbors, some adding food and toiletries daily, some adding as they are able. When Hurricanes Laura and Delta hit our community, some of the linemen working to restore power to the area added food and snacks. One of our regular delivery drivers adds items. This was the beginning of a community joining together to support neighbors in need.
We started our work in the community with food insecurity, and here are the iterations of the Blessing Box, which really explains how much food insecurity exists here in Portie Town.
thanks to Hurricane Laura. Let’s you see the rainbow!
