For the past three Saturday, the Knights have been collecting donations, which will be heading to Joplin on Saturday, Aug. 27 in this large 53-foot  trailer.

Aug. 24,25 and 26 will be the last days for collections, which may be brought to the K of C Pavilion next to the Shrine.  The Knights of Columbus were joined by the City of Florissant and the Salvation Army for the collection drive. . Call Alex Meyer (314-623-7-074) or Chris Herbert ((314-837-5526) for large item pickup— providing there’s still room in the trailer.

Families and even  the littlest ones helped bring items to the park and Knights pavilion grounds for the Joplin tornado victims.
