Blessings 
in A Backpack

Holy Spirit is continuing its commitment to Blessings in a Backpack a year-long community outreach program supported by the parish and school families.Blessings in a Backpack provides food on the weekends for school-aged children across America who might otherwise go hungry.

The local school we will sponsor this year is Field Elementary, which is less than a mile from Holy Spirit. At Field, 75 children qualify for the Blessings in a Backpack program, and, with our help, every child will leave school on Friday with a backpack full of food!

Join us on Sundays after 10 a.m. mass to pack food for the Field students. Volunteer opportunities are for of all ages, including families and children.
