A successful Fall Food Drive by the Knights of Columbus

Published

on

The Knights of Columbus conducted their Fall Food Drive this past weekend at St. John the Baptist RCC in Front Royal. Parishioners donated 4,600 pounds of food and over $2,000 to help the less fortunate in the community. Over the past five years, the parish has supplied a total of nearly 50,000 pounds and $26,000 to their Soup Kitchen and the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry through their semi-annual food drives.

The John Carrell Jenkins Council #7771 of the Knights of Columbus is dedicated to Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. We support our parish and community through a variety of programs.

Ken Pondo, Vince Criste, Jay Butler, Brendan Squire and other Knights and family members helped collect, sort and deliver donations provided by the parishioners.
