Take some food; leave some food

Rutherfordton Mayor Jimmy Dancy cuts the ribbon that officially opened the Rutherford Rise Blessing Box located at Ruff'ton Roots near Rutherford Regional Medical Center. With Dancy are members of the 2021-22 Leadership Rutherford Class that sponsored the project. The public is invited to take food or leave food for others as they drive by or walk by the box. (More photos and a detailed story will be published in next week's Rutherford Weekly).
