When heavy snow blanketed Wrangell this past weekend, it didn't stop a dedicated crew of volunteers from the community and Wrangell SDA Church from doing what they do every month — showing up for their neighbors.
A solid small group of volunteers gathered at the church for the monthly Senior Box Program distribution, loading up cars and heading out across town despite the challenging road conditions. With snow falling and roads slick, they made their way to each stop, dropping off boxes packed with dry goods like pasta and cereal, canned goods, and cheese — the kind of practical help that makes a real difference in a senior's month.
But the boxes weren't the only thing delivered. At each door, volunteers paused to chat, check in, and simply be present with the seniors they served. That's always been the heartbeat of this program — not just supplemental groceries, but genuine human connection.
There's something fitting about pushing through a snowstorm to serve others. It's discipleship in action — the kind that happens not in a pew, but on a slippery front porch on a cold winter morning. The seniors who received boxes were deeply grateful, and honestly, so were the volunteers.
The Senior Box Program has served Wrangell's low-income seniors for a number of years and is always looking to reach more people who could use the help. If you know someone who is 60 or older and on a limited income, please encourage them to reach out at 907-874-3039.
