Blessings in a Bag

Blessings in a Bag is a collaborative effort among Miamisburg churches to provide weekend food for children in need attending Miamisburg City Schools.  A variety of food items are collected in a bag and are placed in the student's backpack each Friday.

THE 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR IS HERE AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO COLLECT FOOD ITEMS AGAIN!
*The First Packing Night of the 2025-26 School Year will be Wednesday, September 3rd. *
How can you help?
  • Donate specified food items and place them in the church vestibule in the designated container

    • Our Lady of Good Hope: pop-top Chef Boyardee items, microwaveable mac and cheese, and peanut butter (16oz plastic containers)

    • St. Henry: vienna sausages, beanie weenies, and tuna pouches

  • Make a monetary donation

    • Write a check payable to Our Lady of Good Hope or St. Henry with "Blessings in a Bag" in memo line​
