Wheelchair Program

The Community Program Director and the Committee Chairman (Ray Hart) are implementing a Wheelchair Program, and ask for your help. The program is esablished to assist SJA parish members who need the mobility of a wheelchair but are unable to obtain one on their own. The chairs will be available free of charge to any member of Saint John's parish who cannot afford one. All wheelchairs will remain the property of our council and will be returned to the council after the recipient has no further use of them. Since these chairs will be on a loner basis, the person receiving the chair will be asked to sign a waiver holding Council 13467 and the Knights of Columbus in general, harmless in the event of causality.

Donated wheel chairs will be cleaned and checked for safety prior to being released through the program. We need your help in this worthwhile program. Assistance can be any volunteer from our council who is willing and able to silicate useable chairs, and to clean or perform simple repairs to donated chairs.

For more information, please see one of the following Knights:

Volunteer Form

Last year, the Knight of Columbus donated more that $151 million to charitable and benevolent causes and over 69 million hours of volunteer community service to aid the less fortunate. We undertake these acts of charity because we see those in need through the eyes of faith.

To help prepare our Fraternal Survey for the Supreme Council office, a "Volunteer Hours Form" has been added to the web site. Please download and complete the form then either email it to the Grand Knight or print and bring it to the next meeting. This information will assist us in determining the total number of hours of community service volunteered by our members during last year.

This years calculations reveal that we have accounted for over 60,000 hours of charatable service in 2011. Fantastic job - keep up the good work of our order.

Click here to access the form. NOTE: The form is designed to make it easy to enter your hours. In each shaded box simply enter the appropriate hours. The total at the bottom will be automatically calculated for you.

AND - you do this annoymously!
