✨ Happy New Year! ✨

As we step into this new year, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Because of your generosity, love, and support, we have been able to donate 17 backpacks to those in need so far. 🎒💛

Each backpack represents kindness, hope, and a reminder that people truly care. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported this mission — you are making a real difference, one backpack at a time.

Here’s to continuing to bless others in the year ahead. 🥂✨

❄️Share Please❄️

I just wanted to hop on here and say THANK YOU to every single person who has donated 🖤
Because of your kindness, we’ve already been able to hand out 12 backpacks to the homeless — and I have about 15 more ready to be given out this week! 🎒✨

I’ve been asked a few times how long I’ll be collecting donations, and honestly the best answer I have is: as long as people are donating, I’ll keep collecting.

It is COLD (and getting colder 🥶), so while I’ve attached the full list below, if I could emphasize anything right now it would be:
🧤 Gloves
🧣 Hats
🛏️ Blankets
🔥 Hot Hands
🥫 Food

Every item, every share, every prayer makes a difference. Thank you for helping us be the hands and feet of this blessing 🤍

Hey I wanted to give everyone an update! We have donated 5 backpacks so far! ❤️ It is taking some time to get something from every category to get the backpacks filled! But we are doing it! We have been traveling to see family in Texas and have gotten so many donations down here! So excited to get those things sorted and put together! Thank you so much to Gracie Scott for doing the pickups back in Missouri! One step at a time but we’re getting there!

With the cold coming I encourage everyone to go through their linen closets/storage rooms/junk drawers/pantries if there is anything on the list below or similar items we would love to take them off your hands!

Hey I’m Taylor Neuroth! I wanted to introduce myself (a little better than my chat gpt originated bio 😅😅) and give you the WHY behind Backpack Blessings. Because that is what I keep getting asked is why? It started when we had a store in Springfield. I have obviously seen the homeless on the streets but never truly took into account just how prevalent it really is. I started to wonder how I could be of help (without just giving cash because I’m aware of most opinions on that) I then went months and didn’t give it another thought! Until about a week ago I was reading Mathew. I read “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in” (Mathew 25:35) and I was instantly reminded of wanting to help the homeless! So here I am asking for your old backpacks/blankets/hotel travel shampoos/and whatever might be helpful to someone who has nothing!
I am not alone in this venture as Gracie has graciously agreed to help me. Please keep an eye out for more community drop offs. And if you have a business and are willing to let me use as a drop off let me know!
