Knights assist St. Vincent Paul Society in presentation of Christmas Food Baskets to Families in Need

Photos and article written by Paul Carfagnini, Grand Knight, Knights of Columbus 2319

The St. Vincent DePaul Society in Thorold with assistance by Knights of Columbus members presented Christmas food baskets to 70 local families in need, bringing joy and relief to many during the holiday season. The families came to Holy Rosary Hall on Saturday, December 21, to pick up their Christmas gifts.

These food baskets, filled with items such as cereal, pasta, carrots, potato chips, apples, canned goods, and desserts were packaged to support families facing financial challenges. The families referred to SVDP by Community Care St. Catharines - Thorold also received a $25 Big Red Market gift certificate.

The presentation also included $25 gift cards given to 169 children from the 70 participating families so they could shop for a toy during the holiday season.
The Knights of Columbus supported the presentation with their Coats for Kids program. New coats were given to 18 children from deserving families.

The SVDP also set up a table covered with toys to give to children.

The Christmas presentation is part of the SVDP Food Bank's aim to assist families in need. The presentation is held annually during the holidays when many feel a cash crunch, dampening their hopes of a festive meal for their loved ones. SVDP volunteers joined a team from the Knights of Columbus to assemble and distribute the baskets, ensuring that each family received the necessary items to make their holiday celebrations a bit brighter.
In addition to giving families the food, the collaboration by the SVDP, Knights of Columbus and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church shows a united act of kindness. The presentation gives us all a sense of community and compassion, showing those in need that they are not forgotten during the Christmas season. The donations were made possible through generous contributions from Knights of Columbus fundraising, local businesses, individual donors, and the dedicated work of volunteers.

This heartwarming presentation shows us the power of community and the true spirit of Christmas in Thorold. Looking at the volunteers greeting the food basket recipients at the hall, it reminds us that Christmas is not just about giving gifts but also about celebrating Jesus Christ in sharing love and support with those who need it the most.

Knights of Columbus Distributing Winter Coats to Local Children

NOV. 4, 2024. --- As the weather starts to get cold, the Knights of Columbus in Thorold heat up their commitment to the community with free winter coat distributions for deserving children!

Provide the Gift of Warmth Impacted by Our Work

The Coats for Kids charitable program comes together with donations from our community and local fundraising efforts by the Knights of Columbus in Thorold.
Coats for Kids is a vital program of the Knights of Columbus that provides the gift of warmth to children in need. By making a charitable donation to our Coats for Kids program, you can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Knights of Columbus as we provide a warm coat for children less fortunate. Imagine the smiles you will help create by providing a new warm coat!
We can’t do it alone. Make a difference TODAY in the lives of these children. Every dollar, no matter the amount of a donation, it all adds up and helps the Knights achieve their goal. A donation of $29 will allow for a new coat to be gifted to a local child in need. Email kofc2319@gmail.com to donate today.
Coats for Kids donations will be collected at the Beef on a Bun Night hosted by the Knights at Holy Rosary Hall on November 14, from 4 to 7 pm. Donations will also be collected during the Thorold Santa Claus Parade on November 30th at the Holy Rosary Hall parking lot where the Knights will be selling hamburgers, hotdogs, and hot chocolate.

Today, eighteen percent of American children and fourteen percent of Canadian children live in poverty. As a result, many families cannot afford to provide even the basic necessity of a warm winter coat. Putting their faith into action, Knights of Columbus councils have handed out more than one million coats to children throughout the United States and Canada through the Coats for Kids program.

Please Spread the Word and Share the Warmth in Thorold!
