Red Bag Signups for 2014 November 15/16 Questions? Contact Liz Jaeger or Kelly Kirk |
|
It is that time of the year again! We are preparing for another great season of helping those less fortunate than us. The Red Bag program provides children with a Christmas that they would not have otherwise. The kids are adopted out by parishioners and the items from their wish lists are purchased as well as essential items such as clothing, shoes and coats. Although it seems the economy is improving, there is much concern with the increased number of children in need. In the past, St. Michael has adopted over 125 children and has been one of the largest contributors to this program. Hopefully, we can keep that tradition going. If you would like to adopt a child early please see our contact information below. Signups for Red Bag are the weekend of November 15/16. If you are able to help, please stop by the table after any of the Masses to sign up. You can either adopt a full child by committing to purchase all of the items on the list or you can partially adopt a child by selecting one or more items to purchase from a specific child's list. We would also encourage groups to adopt a child this year. Religious Ed. classes, sports teams, boy scout/girl scout troops, church ministries, multiple families, etc.
If you have any questions, please contact Liz Jaeger or Kelly Kirk

Green Bag School Supplies Collection
Remember your excitement as a child when you received brand new supplies and clothes for the upcoming school year?
It’s Green Bag time again! Remember your excitement as a child when you received brand new supplies and clothes for the upcoming school year? Here’s your chance to help a child start off the school year in a positive way! This service project is led by Daniel Jacobs, a local Kansas Citian who also heads up the Red Bag Christmas Adopt a Child program. The children who receive these school supplies most often do not have other resources for new supplies or clothes. Many of these children would "fall through the cracks" without the support of this program.
Stop by the Green Bag table after mass on July 5th and 6th to sign up to purchase school supplies for an individual child. We will give you a list of the needed supplies. Donations of new miscellaneous supplies and backpacks are also welcome. Bags will be due by July 21.
St. Michael is a big part of this local Kansas City service project and we are taking 125 children this year. This is a great community service project for individual families and youth groups. We realize this is summer and people are away on vacation so if you are out of town during the weekend of mass sign ups but would still like to adopt a child or help in any way please contact
Liz Jaeger or Kelly Kirk. Thanks in advance for your continued generosity!
