Afterward, members enjoyed lunch together at Subway. The club will continue accepting donations through June 23.

Five adults sit around a table inside a Subway restaurant with drinks and partially eaten sandwiches. The group is gathered at a light-colored table beneath hanging lights, with colorful wall art panels displayed behind them.

 
White outdoor “Blessing Box” mounted against a brick wall, filled with canned goods, boxed pasta, cereal, snacks, and other non-perishable food items. A sign reads “Blessing Box – Take What You Need, Leave What You Can.”

 
Three adults stand outside a brick building placing packaged food items into a small, dark-colored Blessing Box mounted on a white stand. The box contains canned goods and boxed foods, and one person holds a plastic bag of donations while adding items. Posters and windows are visible on the building wall behind them.
