Upcoming Events:
Annual Blessings in Boxes Drop Off & Outdoor Holiday Drop In
Thursday, December 2 from 4:30-6:30 pm at St. James Episcopal Church
Our annual holiday gathering will take place OUTDOORS at St. James Episcopal Church in downtown Hendersonville. This will serve as the primary drop off of Blessings in Boxes gifts and give us a chance to mix and mingle safely outdoors. Wine, hot cider and snacks will be provided. Please dress according to the weather as this is an outdoor gathering to keep things socially safe.
