Camp Amigo

On October 20, 2021 the Knights made a donation of $2000.00 to Camp Amigo. Camp amigo exists to provide kids who have physical and emotional scars a place to be themselves and build a network of support that will last throughout their lives. The camp is fully funded by private donations and the campers stay free of charge.

Coats for Kids

As part of the annual Coats for Kids program, The Knights visited HUGS warehouse on October 20, 2021 and donated 48 newly purchased coats (24 boys, 24 girls, assorted sizes) to HUGS of St Augustine. HUGS works with homeless students throughout St Johns county providing clothing and food for these children. They work closely with school counselors and student services staff to identify needs.
