The Spirit of Jefferson features a piece on a prominent deep purple blessing box located at the intersection of Summit Point Road and 819 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Charles Town, which captured the attention of local resident Bill Grantham. Inspired by this colorful structure, Grantham frequently passes by it during his travels from his farm near Middleway, particularly as he visits the adjacent Zion Baptist Church. His curiosity led him to stop and explore the purpose behind the blessing box, prompting reflections on community engagement and goodwill.
