Peru – Each year, St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council 7273 directs part of its charitable efforts to the Peru JCEO Outreach Food Shelf by conducting a “40 Cans For Lent” program at St. Augustine’s Church and making a monetary donation.
As they have done for so many years, St. Augustine’s parishioners responded to the Knights’ call for help. During Lent’s 40 days, they brought 1,010 pounds of food to the church, which the Knights took to the Town Hall Outreach Center. Then Council Grand Knight Michael Langlois delivered a $500 check to JCEO Community Outreach Worker Breana Warren. When Brenna runs short of specific food items, she’ll have funds to purchase them locally.
The Peru Knights conduct many fundraisers to support their charitable donations. They’re grateful to everyone who supports their efforts.
