Brothers,
Every one of us knows what it feels like to put on something that makes us feel confident, respected, and ready to face the day. Clothing is more than fabric — it carries dignity. It tells a child he belongs at school. It tells a mother she can walk into a job interview with hope. It tells a man trying to rebuild his life that he is not forgotten.
Our Annual Spring Clothing Drive is a simple effort — but its impact is profound. When we help ensure that donated items are clean and in good condition, we’re not just filling a box. We’re restoring confidence. We’re protecting dignity. We’re living our call to charity in a very real and visible way.
This is the kind of work the Knights of Columbus were made for — quiet service that lifts people up without fanfare. No headlines. No applause. Just brothers stepping forward because it’s the right thing to do.
I ask each of you to consider how you can support this effort — whether by spreading the word, helping collect and sort, or encouraging your families to participate. When our council shows up together, the difference is powerful.
Let’s make this clothing drive a reflection of who we are as Knights: men of faith, unity, and charity — serving with compassion and heart.
Thank you, brothers.
Ed Bahoura-Grand Knight
