IIt’s time once again to prepare for the coming school year, and on the Coastside, that means Backpacks. To make sure that all the children in our community are ready for school and have what they need to learn, Holy Family Episcopal Church, Community United Methodist Church, Coastside Jewish Community, Coastside Lutheran Church, , Coastside Hope, Kelly Ave. Catholic Worker, CUSD Migrant Family Education Program and other community groups are working together to collect school supplies and fill backpacks for local children who cannot afford them.  The backpacks will be stuffed, and the main distribution will take place on Saturday, August 13th, with additional distributions taking place over the next week or so. 

We are still in need of cash donations.  These donations go toward purchasing the backpacks and other supplies.  For your convenience, we’re offering this Donate button, so that you can make a quick donation with either your credit card or you PayPal account (if you have one). 

Note:  Holy Family Episcopal Church manages the cash donations for the Backpack Project, but all the money donated -- whether by check or through this site – goes for the Backpacks, and is tax deductible.  Your donation receipt will be emailed to you within minutes, your email address will not be used for any other purpose. If you’d like to contact us, you can send email to info@holyfamilyhmb.org.)

If sending a check is more convenient, please be sure to write “Backpacks” on the memo line, and send it to

We know that many of us are facing financial difficulties, but that makes the need even greater.  Even if you can only spare $5 or $10, please consider making a donation.  You’d be amazed at how quickly those donations add up!

Thank you for your support!
