Mike Miller Giving Box at First Baptist Church of Petersburg for everyone By Sherri Sebella If you haven't noticed a box at the corner of Seventh and Poplar in Petersburg filled with canned and dry food goods, it is there for the com- munity to benefit from. The "Giving Box" was dedi- cated last year at First Baptist Church of Petersburg in mem- ory of Patty Cox, who was a faithful member of First Bap- tist and whose ministry was hospitality, according to Lead Pastor Michael Miller. "We started this ministry in early September of 2021, with a soft opening," Miller said. "It was started as an initia- tive by a group called "ABW," which stands for the Ameri- can Baptist Women organi- zation. Within each church, there is a local body of wom- en who are part of the ABW." Miller has caught glimps- es of people putting things in the Giving Box and he ap- preciates that. "We welcome people donating things to the ministry," Miller said. "I go out there just about every day to check things and make sure they are safe to eat and not past expiration. That is our hope that the community will use it when needed and help stock it when possible." First Baptist Church's goal is to serve the community, ac- cording to Miller. "It's a great ministry," Miller said. "I was really happy when it was pro- posed. This is something I wanted to see our church be a part of. I think the idea stemmed from the Little Li- brary boxes that have become popular. We said we could do this with food. Anything from canned goods, dry goods, person- al hygiene products, daily bread for communion, busi- ness cards, pens, prayers re- quest slips and more, can be found in the Giving Box. "I go out every day to look for prayer requests," Miller said. "I want people to know we are here for more than just that box. People care about each other here. We want people to come to us. We want people to take from the box, and we would love to see their face sometime, but if not, that's okay too. We are just here to serve others." Those who want to donate food and are wondering what people seem to look for most, Miller has some suggestions. "If you want to donate food, just stop by the church and put it in the box," Miller said. "Some items that we see used a lot include cereal, oatmeal (kid-friendly kind), ready- to-eat meals such as canned soups, stews, anything that is a quick meal. Macaroni and cheese, Ramen noodles, Stove Top Stuffing, Minute Rice, are also things we see go quick- ly. Dry beans do not go, they just sit there. That tells me that there are a lot of families with little kids utilizing the Giving Box. That makes my heart happy. There are kids in our community that do not have a warm meal." Miller hopes if someone utilizes the food in the Giv- ing Box, maybe that gives them the opportunity to use that money they are saving on grocery needs for something else, such as taking their chil- dren to the movies. "It's all about boosting the quality of life for people," Miller said. If anyone has any questions or would like to contact Mill- er, he can be reached at 574- 361-7952. Office hours at First Baptist Church of Petersburg are Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. until Noon. Hyatt brings plumbing to Benner & Co. Benner & Co. Heating and Cooling is adding plumbing to their services. Charlie Hyatt, a licensed journeyman plumber, is joining the Benner team. Hy- att has been working as a project manager for an Evansville construction team. Carl Benner said he kept getting requests for a plumber from his customers. He met Hyatt through mutual friends and they started talking. "I said, 'hey we have a bunch of calls for a plumber,'" said Benner. Hyatt started taking those calls for plumbing work in the area on the side. That continued for a couple of years. Hyatt said working a full-time job and plumbing after hours just got to be too much, so he decided to go full-time plumbing. "Adding plumbing will be big for the community and county to have a one-call do-it-all service," said Benner, referring to the addition of plumbing to the estab- lished heating and air conditioning service.
