When winter comes to Michigan, a warm coat can make all the difference for a child. The Brother Knights of Msgr. Kromenaker Council 2251 in St Clair made sure more kids will have one this season by donating four cases of winter coats to Kids in Distress.

 

The need was real. Kids in Distress shared that more than 1,000 children have come through their doors in the last two months alone, and they were almost out of winter coats when the donation arrived.

 

In their thank-you post, Kids in Distress gave a special shoutout to PGK Dan Granowicz for spearheading the donation.

This is charity in action, the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. Thank you to PGK Dan Granowicz and all the Brother Knights of Council 2251 for keeping kids in our community warm this winter. Vivat Jesus!
