Thank You to the great parishioners of St. Gregory. Through your generosity we are happy to announce we collected $2,000 this weekend for Virginia community programs supporting the intellectually disabled!
Our “Tootsie Roll Drive” program is one way we raise funds to support our programs.
The Knights of Columbus is a major sponsor of Special Olympics programs and is dedicated to many other programs in support of persons with intellectual disabilities.
For the Knights in Virginia, KOVAR was established in 1971 to assist Virginians with intellectual disabilities. KOVAR provides grants and interest free home loans to 501(c)(3) organizations that provide services, transportation, training, housing, and athletics to persons with intellectual disabilities.
Our “Tootsie Roll Drive” program is one way we raise funds to support our programs. We will be outside St. Gregory the Great Church in our yellow smocks for Saturday and Sunday Masses (10:00 AM and 1:00 PM).
The last five years KOVAR has averaged 32 grants totaling $500,000, and has provided over $15,000,000 in grants since 1971. There are currently 17 active home loans valued at over $1.5 million.
In response to a reduction in donations last year during the pandemic, KOVAR's maximum grant has dropped from $20,000 to $15,000 this year. Please stop by and support these crucial efforts!
Of course, you can give at any time! Donations can be made at kovarva.org via credit/debit cards or checking accounts, or a check can be sent to the KOVAR Treasurer. Donations to KOVAR are tax deductible.
