Council 640 Lenten Food Drive

By: District Deputy 605 - Tue, Mar 7, 2023 4:37 PM


Escanaba KC Council #640 collects nonperishable food at the council’s 5 parishes during Lent from Ash Wednesday thru Easter Sunday to benefit the local St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.

Collection boxes are placed at the entrance of each parish for the weekend Masses. The Knights collected and weighed the cans to qualify for the Food for Families State Program.

On average the council collects nearly 2000 pounds of food for the food pantry.
