Coats for Homeless Veterans
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
A few of your Brother Knights and I recently dropped off our donated coats in our Coats for Homeless Veterans program. The representative of the VA was so thankful. Often what we see as a simple gesture, has a much greater impact on those in need. Thank you for your support in this charitable donation as well as all your help with our donations throughout the Fraternal Year.
