Pike County Hands of Hope (PCHOH, www.pikecountyhoh.org) would like to recognize and thank the Knights of Columbus for their contributions both to our organization, and the community. Ray Proulx, trustee of the Knights of Columbus, recently presented Jim Pierce, vice president of PCHOH, a check for $300 to further PCHOH’s work with the homeless and near-homeless of Pike County. Pierce said these funds would benefit “those PCHOH serves by providing about four nights of shelter for local homeless persons. Cold weather is here, this donation will be used soon.” The funds were only a portion of what the Knights raise and distribute to the community each year.

The Knights are a Catholic men’s organization providing helping hands for various charitable projects in both parishes and local communities. Our local council represents St. Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s Churches in Milford and Matamoras. The Knights Council meets at the St. Patrick Church Hall in Milford on the third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m., and if you want more information on them you can call 570/296-7451.

We thank them again for their contributions.
