Blessing Bags
For 13 years, OLH had the Kids Summer Snack Bags program. In fall of 2025, we partnered with Liberty Hill ISD to get 3 meals and 8-10 snacks every week into the hands of the students that were going hungry, and we changed the name to Blessing Bags. Each week 100+ students are getting the food they so urgently need through their school counselors.
During the summer, Blessing Bags are distributed through our Food Pantry on a weekly basis. Our pantry's distribution happens Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00-4:00 and Saturdays 10:00-2:00.

BOLSAS DE BENDICÍON
Durante 13 años, OLH mantuvo el programa *Kids Summer Snack Bags*. En el otoño de 2025, nos asociamos con el Distrito Escolar Independiente de Liberty Hill (Liberty Hill ISD) para hacer llegar, cada semana, 3 comidas y entre 8 y 10 refrigerios a manos de los estudiantes que pasaban hambre; fue entonces cuando cambiamos el nombre del programa a *Blessing Bags*. Cada semana, más de 100 estudiantes reciben los alimentos que tan urgentemente necesitan a través de sus consejeros escolares.
Durante el verano, se distribuyen «Bolsas de Bendición» a través de nuestra despensa de alimentos de forma semanal. La distribución de nuestra despensa se lleva a cabo los martes y jueves, de 9:00 a 16:00, y los sábados, de 10:00 a 14:00.
