Dear Brothers & Families of Notre Dame Council:

 

“If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart”.

 

Christmas is just around the corner and it is time to think about our “Family to Family” Charity. Our Family to Family is a program which began in December, 1973 by PGK Ted Holloway, Sr. through which boxes of food are prepared and distributed to families in need. The program has flour­ished throughout the years, helping many needy families at Christmas time. It has lived through the years because of the generosity of our members and widows. Remember, the first principle of our order is Charity. What better way could you practice this principle than to help a family in need at Christmas. This program costs over $4,000 each year; which is raised through your donations. Be a part of this program and please be generous..

 

Please make your check payable to “Notre Dame Council, No. 2901”, and memo it “Family to Family”; mail in the self-addressed envelope to:

 

Barry Schech, PGK

Financial Secretary

801 Regester Avenue

Baltimore, MD 21239

 

If you know of a family in need, reserve a basket by going to www.kofc2901.com  At the top list click on the right listing labeled “Family to Family Basket Request Form”. Fill out all of the blanks and select the number of baskets desired. Some blanks are required. When done click on “send message” at the bottom. A call or email confirmation will be sent to you. Please allow 3 days for the confirmation to be received. You will then pick up the basket from St. Elizabeth’s School Gymnasium, starting at 9:00 AM, on December 22, 2024, and then deliver the basket to the needy family.

The address for St. Elizabeth’s is 801 Argonne Dr., Baltimore MD 21218.

 

The baskets will be assembled on Sunday, December 22, 2024, starting at 8:00 AM. If you would like to help with the basket assembly

please feel free to come and pitch in; more hands always make the work go faster. Food procurement and transportation

happens at 8AM on Friday December 20th at Harvest Faire on Harford and Hamilton avenues, if you can help at that time.

Please pray for the success of this program.

 

What we have done in the past is important, and we thank you for your past contributions. However, there are still plenty of needy families which depend on our support again this year. Please help make someone’s Christmas dinner special. I wish to thank you in advance for your generosity; if you would like to have an acknowledgment of your gift,

please indicate it with your donation.
