Operation Backpack

Thanks to your generosity, our 2020 Operation Backpack drive was a great success! We look forward to partnering with you again next year to provide school supplies to those in need in and around our community.

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.
