Coats for Kids

One of the tenets of the Knights of Columbus is Charity. In light of that tenet, we endeavor to give to those less fortunate and in need. Given our current COVID-19 situation we find that need to be more dire. In support of the Knights of Columbus annual Coats for Kids program, the FJOB Council donated 20 brand new coats to Bull Run Middle School. Huge thank you to Deputy Grand Knight, Joseph Nicolello for heading up this effort!
 

St. Lucy Project Food Drive

FJOB participated in a second St. Lucy Project food drive on Saturday, May 29.  Twelve brother Knights participated and were scheduled to work in two separate 2 hour shifts. Over 4,900 lbs of food and donations totaling $660.00 was collected. A great result in this time when many people need food assistance.
