The Knights of Columbus Our Lady of the Rosary Council 12982
donated $11,500 to the House of Mercy Food Bank in Manassas last month, the
largest donation the council has made since its existence. The funds will go
toward purchasing commercial grade, walk-in refrigeration for the food pantry,
which has seen a growing need since the pandemic began and now feeds more than
350 families monthly. The Knights raised the majority of the funds by selling Christmas
trees last December.
