  • 37th Annual Toys for Tots Drive Begins

    37th Annual Toys for Tots Drive Begins

    The Clark County Knights of Columbus Toys for Tots program is celebrating its 37th year of bringing Christmas joy to local children. This volunteer Catholic men’s group provides gifts for kids in need across eastern Clark County and offers additional monetary support to a similar program in Casey.

    The program is funded through community donations from local businesses and individuals. Beginning after Thanksgiving, donation boxes will be available in area businesses and at St. Mary’s Church for contributions of new or gently used toys.

    In 2024, the Clark County Knights of Columbus were able to support 155 children across 60–70 families in our community.

    If you know of a family who may need assistance this Christmas, please reach out to any member of the Clark County Knights of Columbus or call St. Mary’s Church at 217-826-2845. Leave a message with your contact information or the family’s, and a letter with program details will be sent to them.

    For more information about Clark County Toys for Tots or other Knights of Columbus service projects, visit the Clark County Knights of Columbus on Facebook.
