Council 6890 Feeding Families
Council 6890 pledged $400 to the St. Michael’s food pantry. We went food shopping for them in April with a list that they provided. We found that shopping for them helps them a great deal. Especially, now that they are limited to only 2 volunteers due to the restrictions of Covid-19. We felt that it was just as important to go shopping for the food pantry as it was to donate the $400 since the pantry was restricted to two volunteers. We purchased approximately $200 of food, which will provide meals for 20 families. We returned in May with another $200 in groceries.
First Responder Thank You Lunches Sponsored by Council 6890
Council 6890 expressed our appreciation to the first responders in Clayton and Franklinville, NJ. We sponsored a lunch for the Police, Fire Department and the EMT’s in May. This was paid for entirely with donations from our brother knights.
