Last Minute Coats for Kids BOGO

We are thrilled to announce an incredible opportunity for the Knights of Columbus Michigan State Council! Supreme has informed us that we can acquire 40 additional cases through the BOGO initiative, and in a remarkable show of support, they will match our order, bringing our total to a staggering 80 cases available for our local councils. This is a unique moment for us to enhance our commitment to community service and uplift those in need. However, we must act swiftly, as these cases will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis once they arrive.

Our Worthy State Community Director will diligently track orders based on the postmark date, ensuring a fair process for all. Remember, councils will need to coordinate their own pickup from the Wyandotte Distribution Center, and no coats will be released without my official approval of the order. Let’s make sure to submit all order forms by the crucial deadline of February 1, 2026. This initiative not only embodies our values of charity and brotherhood but also stands as a testament to our collective spirit in making a positive impact in our communities. Let’s seize this opportunity together!

Fraternally yours

Larry J. Herman, FDM, FDD, PGK, PFN
