Fundraising

The first principle of the Knights of Columbus is charity. Our council strives each year to support a variety of charities within our community. Our ability to support these groups would not be possible without the support of generous members of the public like you.

In our last typical year (pre-COVID-19) our council raised over $10,000.00 through a variety of events and efforts. 

Our breakfasts are unfortunately  canceled due to COVID-19. As soon as it is safe to do so we'll be back flipping pancakes.

Need a Christmas pick-me-up? We've had 'em and we delivered! Click here to see the lovely pictures.
