Reece Marciel, 17, a senior at Camas High School, stands outside the Blessing Box at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Camas, on Oct. 26. Marciel's senior project involves organizing the box, filled with donated items such as food, clothing, toiletries and shoes that people in need can access any time of day or night.

For one Camas High School student, senior year is all about helping others help others.

“I didn’t think it was going to be used as often as it is,” said Reece Marciel of the Blessing Box located outside St. John’s Presbyterian Church in Camas, which allows community members to anonymously donate everyday items to their neighbors in need.
