Council 6099 delivers big for the Wheelchair Foundation & Food for the Poor

The council fried a lot of fish and cooked a lot of pancakes, among other things, to support the Wheelchair Foundation and Food for the Poor. WF Director Moe Rivers (pictured) led the charge that raised nearly $11 thousand for Wheelchair Foundation. Grand Knight Jason Randall presented a check to the state deputy. The council was also received the State Charity Program Award for our efforts. In fact, Council 6099 represented more than a third of all funds raised for the Wheelchair Foundation in the State! The fund drive for Food for the Poor in the last fraternal year also netted an amazing $16,850, which was sent to the charity, enough to build 8 houses for destitute families, plus 8 more through government matching programs. Congratulations to FFP Chairman Dennis Meinert for his leadership, and to all brother Knights who donated so many hours of labor to make a tremendous impact for these two organizations!
