On October 19th, St John Paul II Knights delivered youth size coats to HUGS of St Johns County https://www.stjohnshugs.org/.
Using proceeds from our pickleball fundraiser, we purchased 48 new lightweight jackets for boys and girls of assorted sizes, and donated the jackets to this charitable organization that supports our community’s children.
The program is part of the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids campaign with the mission to provide warmth for children in need during cold winter months. Through the dedication of our council in these early years, hundreds of new winter coats have been distributed to children in our community. HUGS organization personnel were so appreciative of our donation and loved the coats. ” We appreciate your wonderful donation and these coats are perfect for winter in northern Florida.”, said Karen Burke, the clothing coordinator.
Thank you to all the brothers that participated in this effort, from your heart to theirs, by the grace of God.
