Operation Backpack

Our annual Operation Backpack generates school supplies for area students at the end of summer every year. Help support school-age children in the Greater Cypress area and at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church as they begin a new school year by donating new supplies.

Drop them off in the narthex or in the Parish Office Monday through Friday. We ask for donations of new items only, so feel free to get double what you may be getting for your family.

You can also donate via
Amazon Wish List! 

To ship directly to CtR, please select "Operation Backpack's Gift Registry Address" when choosing a shipping address.  Your items will then be sent directly to CtR.  Thank you for your donation to Operation Backpack.
