Dexter, Missouri - James Kalata's message, “Give what you can, take what you need!."
Kalata earned his Eagle Scout by building a new Blessing Box next to the Welcome Center/Train Depot in downtown Dexter.
Eagle Scout projects are done with the intention of community betterment. Approximately 62 hours went into this project. The Historic Downtown Dexter Association helped fund the project. Busy B Lumber donated the plexiglass for the doors.
He hopes that people will utilize the Blessing Box by not only taking food for their needs, but to give back to the community as well.
"Whenever you go to the grocery store just grab a couple of extra cans of vegetables or cereal and drop off on your way home," stated Kalata.
The purpose of the Blessing Box is to help those in need. Anyone can donate nonperishable foods.
The Blessing Box is located next to the depot at the corner of W. South Main and Walnut.
