Our missionary friend, Fr. Dana Craft, who has an amazing ministry to families living by the dumpsite in Guatemala City, is asking All Saints’ to partner with them in 2026 by “helping to support getting our 300 children to be able to attend school this new academic year.

“For only $25.00 USD, your congregants can purchase a brand-new backpack stuffed with new school supplies.

“Unlike in the States, if a child does not have their own supplies, they are not allowed to attend class. This is why purchasing the supplies is so critically important.”

What do you say, Saints? In 2025, our gift provided backpacks for 320 children. Can we support this again?

Mark your check (made out to All Saints’) for Donation for Backpacks. Or, give online here.

On February 1, we'll forward what you've given to Mision Desafio.
