Community
As Knights of Columbus, we are called to serve our family and our God. Our first principle is Charity, at home with our families and in our communities. This is a critical part of our Knights of Columbus mission. Have you ever wondered, “How can I make my community better?” Individuals can do great things on their own but there is something bigger than self when Knights of Columbus members come together as one through their council and accomplish great things. Councils that conduct these programs are positively shaping their communities by addressing the needs of its citizens. For Community program resources, visit https://kofc.org/community.

Community Programs
The Supreme Council has designated certain programs as featured programs (*) in each of the program categories. When we conduct a featured program and satisfy the associated requirements, we will receive two credits toward the program category.
Coats for Kids *
Provide warmth for deserving children during cold winter months.
Councils across North America can purchase new winter coats for children in need at a discount and distribute them in their local communities.

Global Wheelchair Mission *
Change the lives of people with disabilities worldwide.
The Knights of Columbus has partnered with the American Wheelchair Mission and Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, which falls under the umbrella of the Global Wheelchair Mission, to obtain wheelchairs at a deeply discounted price. These wheelchairs help provide aid to those who lack the freedom of mobility in our communities. The Global Wheelchair Mission is a perfect opportunity to put your Faith in Action and involve the entire community through rewarding charitable work done by councils.

Habitat for Humanity *
Build homes for families in need.
Knights of Columbus councils work closely with Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit Christian organization, to build homes for families in need at substantially reduced costs. Each year, councils throughout the Order donate a considerable number of volunteer hours and dollars to this worthy cause.
