SUMMARY:Christ the Servant - Membership Drive
DESCRIPTION:Why Become a Knight?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeing a Knight of Columbus is about more than meetings and events. It’s about faith\, fraternity\, service\, and making a real difference in the lives of others. Through charitable works\, support for our parish\, and brotherhood rooted in Catholic values\, we strive to put our faith into action. \nWe’re looking for Brother Knights to join us after your normally attended mass at our Membership Drive and share what being a Knight has meant to them. Your story and experience may be exactly what inspires another Catholic man to take that next step. \nIf you’re not currently a Knight\, we invite you to stop by and learn more. Ask questions\, meet our members\, and discover why millions of Catholic men have chosen to become part of an organization dedicated to serving God\, the Church\, and their communities. \nWhether you’re sharing your story or hearing ours for the first time\, we hope you’ll join us. One conversation could change a life\, strengthen a parish\, and help build the future of our Council. \nCome see why we’re Knights. Better yet\, discover why you should be one too.

SUMMARY:Woodridge Community Food Pantry Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:Join your Brother Knights\, family members\, and friends as we serve our neighbors in need at the Woodridge Community Food Pantry Volunteer Day. \n\nThe Woodridge Community Food Pantry provides food and essential household items to local families facing difficult circumstances. Rising food costs and economic challenges continue to place pressure on many households\, making the Pantry’s mission more important than ever. Through our volunteer efforts\, we help ensure that individuals\, children\, seniors\, and families in our own community receive the support they need with dignity and compassion. \nVolunteers may assist with sorting donations\, stocking shelves\, organizing inventory\, and preparing food distributions. No special skills are required\, just a willingness to serve. \nAs Knights\, we are called to put our faith into action. Serving at the Food Pantry is a direct way to live out the principles of Charity and Fraternity\, while making a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors. A few hours of our time can help provide meals for families\, ease burdens for those struggling financially\, and demonstrate Christ’s love through service. \nWhether you can volunteer for just one hour or stay for the full shift\, your help makes a difference. Even a single hour of assistance helps the Pantry serve more families efficiently\, while volunteering for the entire four-hour shift makes an enormous impact on their ability to organize\, prepare\, and distribute resources to those in need. \nWhether you are a longtime volunteer or serving for the first time\, your participation matters. We encourage all Knights to join us and consider bringing a family member\, prospective Knight\, or friend to share in this rewarding experience. \nTogether\, we can help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. \nVivat Jesus!

SUMMARY:Presentation of Bibles to St. Scholastica Sixth Graders
DESCRIPTION:The Knights of Columbus are honored to present Bibles to the sixth-grade students of St. Scholastica School at the 8:30 Mass as a lasting gift to support their faith journey. \n\nAs students continue to grow in their relationship with Christ\, the Bible serves as a guide\, providing wisdom\, encouragement\, and a deeper understanding of God’s love. Through this meaningful tradition\, we hope to help keep faith at the center of their lives and inspire them to turn to Scripture throughout their spiritual journey. \nThis presentation reflects the Knights of Columbus commitment to supporting our youth\, strengthening Catholic education\, and encouraging the next generation to live their faith with confidence and purpose. \nMay this gift help each student grow closer to Christ and discover the guidance and hope found in God’s Word. \nVivat Jesus!

SUMMARY:Intellectual Disability Tootsie Roll Drive - Jewel Storefront
DESCRIPTION:More Than a Fundraiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor many of us\, the Tootsie Roll Drive is a familiar tradition. But for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families\, the support it provides is something much deeper. It creates opportunities\, strengthens programs\, and reminds them that they are valued members of our community. \nThis year\, we’ve budgeted $11\,000 in collections. That’s a good goal. But the real question is: what if we didn’t settle for good? \nWhat if we challenged ourselves to make this our most successful drive yet? What if every Knight gave a few hours of his time? What additional therapies\, programs\, scholarships\, equipment\, and support could be funded right here in our community? How many more lives could be touched? \nThe success of this drive isn’t measured by dollars alone. It’s measured by the hope we provide and the lives we impact. Every shift volunteered is another opportunity to show that our commitment to charity extends beyond words and into action. \nPlease sign up to help. Together\, let’s do more than reach a goal. Let’s make a difference that lasts.\n \n\nContact Brad or John to get added to list below (Really need support for the 3PM-5PM Saturday and 11AM-5PM Sunday) (Consider inviting Family and Friends to join if you are coming or can’t make it): \nAugust 8th:                                                                                    August 9th: \n9AM-11AM:  1 Needed  (Ron S.\, Marty D.\, Craig S.)                    9AM-11AM:  1 Needed  (Ron S.\, Jerry B.\, Noel Z.) \n11AM-1PM:   2 Needed (Robert E.\, Brad W.)                                 11AM-1PM:   3 Needed (Brad w.) \n1PM- 3PM:  2 Needed (Dave K.\, Jerry M.)                                     1PM- 3PM:  3 Needed (Dave K.) \n3PM-5PM:  3 Needed (Roy C.)                                                          3PM-5PM:  3 Needed (Roy C.) \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Participant NameFirstLastParticipant EmailNumber		\n			Participant Name Number\n			\n		\n		Register for a Timeslot for the ID DriveSat 8/8 @ 9AM-11AMSat 8/8 @ 11AM-1PMSat 8/8 @ 1PM-3PMSat 8/8 @ 3PM-5PMSun 8/9 @ 9AM-11AMSun 8/9 @ 11AM-1PMSun 8/9 @ 1PM-3PMSun 8/9 @ 3PM-5PMRegister for Timeslot  \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n
