On June 8, 2024, the Council spent an amazing morning with our Brother Knights from the Eastern PA Knights of Columbus to help pack 50,000 meals to benefit Cross Catholic Outreach. Thanks to our Council Knights and their families who joined the nearly 150 volunteers at Holy Ghost Prep's Holt Center. 45,000 meals will be shipped to families in dire need in a developing country while 5,000 meals will be donated to local food pantries, including the Holy Trinity Food Pantry.
Thanks to District Deputy Eric Miller for helping to coordinate this event. Special thanks to Gump Whiteside and the staff at Holy Ghost Prep for being amazing hosts and getting us set up in the beautiful Holt Center. We were also blessed to have U.S. Spiritans and Holy Ghost Prep teacher, Fr. Dan help with some students and to lead us in our opening and closing prayer.
We are looking forward to packing meals again next year! You can still help support this event by making a donation to subsidize the cost of the food packaged.
