Archbishop O’Neill Council #8896 Supports Coats for Kids Program

Archbishop O’Neill Council #8896 is proud to continue its support for the Coats for Kids program, a vital initiative that helps ensure children stay warm during the winter months.

Through a group purchase organized by the Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation, the council has provided two boxes of brand-new winter coats—12 for boys and 12 for girls. These coats were delivered to St. Catherine Community School on November 6.

Cassie Dodd, School Support Specialist for St. Catherine and St. Theresa Schools, will oversee the distribution of the coats to students in need. Not only do these coats offer high-quality protection from the cold, but they also look fantastic!

This year marks a significant milestone for the Coats for Kids program: the 1 millionth coat has been distributed since the program began in 2009. Archbishop O’Neill Council #8896 is honoured to contribute to this meaningful cause and help make a difference in the lives of children in our community.
