Youville Centre
We are thrilled to be selected as recipients for the Knights of Columbus 9544 Charity Golf Tournament that falls in the month of May, during our annual Mother’s Day campaign.
Knights of Columbus Charities
Coats For Kids - The goal of the Coats for Kids program is to ensure that no child goes without a coat during the winter season. Knights of Columbus Council 9544 purchase new winter coats for children in need at a discount and distribute them in their local communities thereby providing warmth for deserving children during cold winter months. Families struggling to make ends meet use their scarce resources to meet the most basic needs and cannot always afford the vital essential of a new winter coat.
Food For Families - Council 9544 of the Knights of Columbus is committed to helping end hunger through the Food for Families Program which has donated millions of dollars and millions of pounds of food toward this end. Many in our communities are struggling through hardship and unable to provide food to their families. The goal of Food for Families is to ensure that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night by raising funds to support local food pantries, food banks and soup kitchens.
