H.O.P.E. Snack Bags

Waldron Mercy Academy partners with St. Francis Inn in Kensington to offer H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Eat) Snacks once a month. Students receive brown paper lunch bags to bring home and are encouraged to decorate the bags and write short notes. 7th and 8th grade students then collect and box these bags of non-perishable snacks for a volunteer parent to deliver. Staffed by vowed and lay Franciscans and volunteers, St. Francis Inn serves the poor and homeless by addressing their immediate needs while also striving to empower them as members of the local community.
