The Knights Prince of Peace Council 8791 recently distributed its 2014 Campaign for Citizens with Disability Funds.

The The Knights Prince of Peace Council 8791 recently made a few local donations for their 2014 Campaign for Citizens with Disability Funds.

The council donated $3,800 to the ARC of Volusia and the special education classes at Osceola Elementary, Tomoka Elementary, Pine Trail Elementary, Pathways Elementary, and Ormond Beach Middle School. In addition, a contribution was made to a statewide Knights of Columbus charity that helps people with disabilities.

“Through the efforts of our council members and the generosity of area residents and visitors, we are pleased to again provide much needed funds to help local students and citizens with learning and developmental challenges,” said Harold Bennett, Grand Knight of Council 8791. “We would also like to thank Publix, Walmart and Winn-Dixie for giving us access to their storefronts and customers.”

The grants are from the proceeds from the council selling Tootsie Rolls at area stores and Prince of Peace Catholic Church earlier in the year.
