Blessing Boxes
Spreading Kindness, Sharing Joy, and Making Christmas Brighter!
The holiday season is a time for love, generosity, and coming together as a community. But we also know that, for some families, this time of year can bring additional financial challenges.
That's why the Benton City Chamber of Commerce is proud to continue our annual Winterfest Blessing Box Program, helping bring a little extra Christmas magic to local families who could use a helping hand.
Through the kindness and generosity of our local businesses, Chamber members, and community supporters, we hope to ease some of the holiday stress and remind our neighbors that they are never alone.
Whether you're a family in need of assistance or someone looking to spread a little holiday cheer, we'd love for you to be part of this special program!
