Knights Donate to Country Store

On Saturday, August 5, 2023, three members of the Knights of Columbus Council 8375 met with RayLynn Van Oort to present her a check in the amount of $110.00 for the work of the members of the Country Store in Whitehall.

This check was presented by District Deputy Stephen Bradford, Grand Knight Jim Staedt, and Recorder for the Council Ed Schramm.

This check was part of the proceeds of our annual Tootsie Roll program which is conducted every year by the Councils of the Knights of Columbus as a fundraiser for charity, particularly for Special Olympics and other local worthy programs that aid people in need, such as the Brain Center here in Whitehall.

Besides helping with such local work to help those in need, the local council provides money to help the local food bank every year. The Knights also, every fall, conduct their Coats for Kids program to provide kids in the local area with good coats for the upcoming Winter weather.

All proceeds from our fundraisers are voted on by the members of Council 8375 at our meetings every year.
