[Officers] Food donation reimbursements

[Nicholas A. Ragusano]

Worthy Officers,

I ran across this item in the May edition of Knightline.

Food for Families Reimbursement Program

What is your council doing to help feed hungry people? Did you participate in 40 Cans for Lent? Do you prepare and serve meals at a local soup kitchen? Do you contribute time, money or food to your parish food pantry or community food bank? If you do any or all of these things, you may be eligible for a refund from the Supreme Council office.

The Food for Families Reimbursement Program provides a refund — up to a maximum refund of $500 per council per fraternal year — of $100 for every $500 or 500 pounds of food contributed to an organization in your community whose mission is to feed the hungry. The Food for Families Reimbursement Program Refund and Plaque Application (#10057) is located at kofc.org/forms and due by June 30. Please complete and submit this form to make certain that your council receives any refund you may be entitled to.

Please note that beginning July 1, 2014, the reimbursement guidelines will change. Effective next fraternal year, refunds will be awarded at a rate of $100 for every $500 or 1,000 pounds of food contributed to a local food bank, food pantry or soup kitchen.

We probably ought to check this out.  We gave $1800 to the Homeless Shelter for food.  Plus, we gave money to the Food Bank.

Fraternally,

Nicholas A. Ragusano
Communications Director
