The Michigan Knights of Columbus will be distributing winter coats to children in need. Contact: Mark Garcellano, District Deputy, dd105@mikofc.org
As the weather begins to get colder, the Knights of Columbus Councils throughout Michigan heat up their commitment to the community with free winter coat distributions for deserving children!
Today, eighteen percent of American children and fourteen percent of Canadian children live in poverty. As a result, many families cannot afford to provide even the basic necessity of a warm winter coat.
Putting their faith into action, Knights of Columbus councils throughout the United States and Canada have handed out more than one million coats to children through the Coats for Kids program.
The Michigan Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids distribution will be held at St. Anne’s Basilica in Detroit, Michigan from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on November 16, 2024. Coats are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis and range in size from boys (12M) and girls (12M) all the way up to boys XXL and girls XXL.
Special thanks to Ste. Anne Anacleto Rodriguez Council 8697 in Detroit for hosting this Community event!

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 to assist working-class and immigrant Catholics in the United States. Currently, there are approximately two million members of the Knights, putting their faith in action through a broad range of charitable causes locally, nationally and internationally through financial contributions and hands-on service.
Fraternally,
