The Knights of Columbus Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity for the year ending Dec. 31, 2013, reports that the Knights donated record amounts of money and hours of volunteer service — more than $170 million and more than 70.5 million hours.

Our charitable activities encompass an almost infinite variety of local, national and international projects. From international charitable partnerships with Special Olympics, the Global Wheelchair Mission and Habitat for Humanity to our own Food for Families and Coats for Kids projects and other purely local charities, the opportunity to work together with fellow Knights and their families is virtually endless. http://www.kofc.org

The Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities (formerly called “The Tootsie Roll Drive) raises money for cash grants to children under the age of 21 for items such as wheelchair ramps, elevators, lifts for vans and hearing aids. Grants are processed through the local council and funded by the Massachusetts State Council http://www.massachusettsstatekofc.org/
