Last spring there was a bulletin notice concerning the support of the Reintegration Program for Veterans at St. Francis House in Little Rock by the Village Knights of Columbus, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Order of the Purple Heart.  The response was excellent as many parishioners, and their neighbors, came forth, (and still are) with clothing and personal hygiene items to support our Veterans.  A big thank you to all those who donated.

St. Francis House processes approximately 50 Veterans every three months since the program began in 1986. Therefore, donations of clothing and personal hygiene items are always in need.  To make a donation of such, contact Mike Kerwin at 922-1531 or Phil Carl at 922-9245 to make pick-up arrangements.  You can also support the program by making a monetary donation to the Knights of Columbus St. Francis Fund.  Make checks payable to the Knights of Columbus Assembly 2316 with a note in the memo section, "St. Francis Fund".  Mail to Mike Garstecki in HSV at 5 Excelso Trace.  We currently have a list of 49 volunteers who participate in various support programs throughout the year.  If you would like to be a volunteer, please contact Mike Kerwin at 922-1531 for inclusion.
