Again this year, Father Allan Hall Knights of Columbus Council #8604 at St. Charles Parish, spearheaded a 40 Cans for Lent event. They collected 1,000 pounds of food and $600 in cash donations from St. Charles parishioners and students of St. Charles Catholic School.
Brandy Bobier, CEO and Community Connector for Community Helpers Unite Inc., thanked the group for their generous donations. She said, “We will be utilizing these donations in our emergency hamper program, as well as our youth mentorship program, for youth in independent living or aging out of the Child and Family Services system”.
Thank you to our Knights for a job well done!
“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ ”
