40 Cans for Lent

Please help the Knights help our local food shelves during these Lenten days of discipline. Place food donations in designated containers before Easter. Money can be put into the collection plate labeled "40 CANS" or mailed to Knights of Columbus, PO Box 1169, Hayward WI 54843.  Financial gifts may actually go further than donations of food because they can buy food affordably and purchase what they need most.  Checks payable to Knights of Columbus Council #6587.

The foundational call of Christians to charity is a frequent theme of the Gospels.  During Lent, we are asked to focus more intently on "almsgiving," which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity.  As one of the three pillars of Lenten practice, almsgiving is "a witness to fraternal charity" and  "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462).
