In 2020, when COVID-19 and the Oregon wildfires devastated our state, Dr. Silky J. Booker, a United States Air Force Veteran, community activist and visionary, international radio host and entertainer and philanthropist, created and founded the community based charitable campaign called King Silky’s Blessing Boxes. Dr. Booker recognized the growing need in the community for more outreach programs to help people in need. King Silky’s Blessing Boxes are boxes of food items, toiletries, pet supplies and other essential items that are hand-delivered to community members in need. Moreover, our nonprofit organization takes pride in putting a personal touch on every box delivered by catering to special dietary needs and front door service.

​

Lane County alone has a population of over 380,000 citizens. Coupled with the rising food and energy costs and the persistent issues that still hamper the community from the pandemic, the amount of people in need is still overwhelming. Ultimately, it is the goal of King Silky’s Blessing Boxes to develop deep community ties and partnerships to sustain the project for years to come and to continue providing assistance to community members in need.
