For the past 6 years, the Knights of Columbus have sponsored the local Coats for Kids program.

Last year, in partnership with Cahokia School District 187, the Village of Cahokia, and Holy Family Catholic Church, we purchased a total of 96 brand new winter coats for $2141.50. With the help of the school district, these coats were given, free of charge, to the most needy area children.

The annual Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive is for the benefit of people with intellectual disabilities. Last year on the weekend of September 18, volunteers for the Tootsie Roll drive collected $2700.00 locally in Cahokia, Dupo, and Sauget.

All of the proceeds were distributed locally; $1905.00 of which went to Special Education school programs in Cahokia and Dupo.

We Knights of Columbus put our "Faith in Action" by being a vital part of the local communities. Rallying our forces to the battle cry of, “Leave no Neighbor Behind,” we actively seek to make a difference in our neighborhood.

If you wish to be part of the solution, join us with whatever support you have to offer; no support is too little or too big!
