The East Madison Historical Association recently installed a Blessings Box at the EMHA building at 1108 East Madison Road. This box was donated by Lynn Denis Rooney in honor of her parents, Katie and Lew Ouilette, according to a news release from Sue Lahti, od rhw EMHA publication committee.
The box has a variety of dry goods and nonperishable food items to share with anyone in need. It will be replenished regularly and is available 24/7. The association asks that you take what you need, leave what you can and feel blessed.
Soon at this same site, the association will install a little lending library. The same practices will apply. Take a book as you need; leave a book as you can. We hope to have books of interest for all ages.
For more information, contact Lahti at 474-5961 or [email protected].

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
