A Higher Purpose 

Since 2003, the Knights of Columbus have sponsored the delivery of more than 100,000 wheelchairs to people in need – veterans, children, and many others who suffer from lack of mobility simply due to the lack of wheelchairs.   Thanks to the efforts of our Order, we have delivered wheelchairs to people in need all over the world, showing exemplary compassion, generosity, and dedication by bringing mobility to those less fortunate.

GK Glen Gaines of  JFK Council 5484 and  Fr. Daniel Ihunnia then the Parochial Vicar at the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Augusta, GA, present a wheelchair to a student from Immaculate Conception Catholic School of Special Education in Augusta, GA 

 

The Knights of Columbus Charites of Georgia, Inc. (KCCG) state wheelchair fund was established to respond to this need in Georgia.  For $150.00, the cost of one wheelchair, we can greatly improve the life of a veteran or others within our state.  We are asking all councils to consider donating at least $300.00 towards the purchase of two wheelchairs. Our mission is to help veterans in our VA Hospitals, Honor Flight Network in GA, Churches, Schools, Children, Teens, and Adults.
