Knights of Columbus Food for Families Drive
The Knights are again accepting donations for the annual Food Drive running from October 1 - 31. This year, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Knights are asking for donations by the way of gift cards to allow recipients to purchase their own groceries/supplies as needed as opposed to the usual gift of non-perishable food items; this will reduce the need for handling, etc.We again count on the support of our parishioners as unfortunately there are many who need and depend on this assistance. Please drop off your gift cards at the parish office using the designated "Mail Slot" appropriately marked at the office door.
The Knights wish to thank you for your generous support.
