Coat Giveaway in Flint
- Mon, Nov 11, 2024 5:09 PM
On Saturday, November 9th, several Councils in Genesee County came together to host their annual coat giveaway at the Catholic Charities Center for Hope in Flint.
The event was a resounding success, with over 500 coats distributed to ensure that children stay warm throughout the winter season. A dedicated group of over 25 Knights and their family members participated in the event, making it a truly personal experience by assisting families in selecting coats for their children.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Council 6742 from the Church of The Holy Family in Grand Blanc for generously providing coats and mittens. Additionally, Council 7482 from St. John’s Parish in Fenton donated an additional 80 coats, supplementing those purchased through the Supreme Council.
Special recognition is owed to Catholic Charities for graciously hosting the event and storing all the coats acquired by the Lansing Diocese Councils.
