Each Christmas, MRP partners with community organizations to give gifts to kids that could use a little something extra under the Christmas tree. From baldorf game sets to warm clothes, school gear, and family essentials, our Holiday Backpack Program delivers joy where it’s needed most. Help us support local families today.
Sponsor a child this holiday season. A gift of $125 fully funds a backpack filled with over $200 in winter essentials, food, and gifts. Every dollar makes a direct impact:
Roper Elementary staff praise the program:
“Hello! I am a third grade teacher at Roper Elementary. I got to deliver a handful of backpacks to my students today and they were beyond excited! One boy asked if he gets to keep the backpack and when I replied yes, he said “oh my, you don’t know how much this means to me. I’ve had the same backpack since first grade. I really like this one!” My heart almost exploded as I gave him a huge hug. I wanted to pass along his excitement and say thank you so much! Your kindness was is very much appreciated!”
“Roper families are so grateful when they are able to receive a holiday gift bag for their children. Tough times have fallen on many people in our community these past couple years and having our Holiday Program has really made winter break and the holiday season special. I love seeing our students light up when they get a gift bag that they get to take home and keep. It’s an awesome program that really helps our families out during the holidays.” – Roper Elementary School Counselor
