Winter coat campaign launch
The collaboration between the French-speaking and English-speaking Councils of the Knights of Columbus in Aylmer has resulted in more than 100 winter coats being donated to our local community in recent weeks. That's over 300 coats in the last three years. The Aylmer chapter of St. Vincent de Paul is responsible for selecting the families who receive coats.
The contribution of the Knights of Columbus in Aylmer is part of a North American winter coat donation program. The Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids program covers all of Canada and the United States. Collaboration between Knights councils across North America has resulted in the distribution of several hundred thousand coats since the program's inception.
