Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

Be encouraged to take time to stop by and check the Blessing Box. The upper portion is for food stuffs, and the lower space is for firewood in the cold months and produce and plants in the warm months.  Spread the word!

We welcome extra produce from your gardens!  Produce you’d like to donate can be left on the lower portion of the box and is greatly appreciated.  It is humbling to see how well the box is being received, and a huge THANK YOU to all who have been supporting it with contributions of food and dollars. 

Here's an idea:  ”A Meal in a Bag!” that contains all the ingredients for a simple meal. Cleaning supplies have also been appreciated, since anything beyond the allotments of a SNAP card are often a struggle to afford for many families. 

“But in times past, ... the people ... gathered food and material goods in the church, and there – as St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11 – distributed among those in need.”

- Martin Luther in The Blessed Sacrament of the Holy and True Body of Christ, and the Brotherhoods (1519)
