CHRIST THE KING’S
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL #12691
is working to assist
CATHOLIC CHARITIES WORCESTER COUNTY
to strengthen its
DIAPER PROGRAM
Please recall the relationship of our parish Knights of Columbus Council and Catholic Charities. Our Council will serve the needs of many poor mothers in Worcester County through Catholic Charities which established a program a few years ago where they purchase diapers at a low, wholesale price.
One of our Knights will briefly greet parishioners at a table outside the front doors of the church at Masses this weekend. Self-addressed envelopes are available there. You can take one from the volunteer and send your gift back to the rectory.
The typical monthly cost for poor mothers is $70-$80 per child. This is insurmountable for many struggling families in our area. State benefit programs such as Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) do not pay for diapers. Most licensed day care providers require that babies be in disposable diapers (sometimes up to 12 a day).
Our Knights hope to raise $5,000 to assist Catholic Charities in their hope of purchasing and distributing 50,000 diapers in the year ahead. We hope you can help us.
Can you help these mothers? Your gift would be most welcome. Please make your check payable to:
“Knights of Columbus Council 12691”
and send it to…
