Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph Council #3792 Donate and Tour KSI

Proceeds from the Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive were donated to Kent Sussex Industries

KSI received a generous donation from the Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph Council #3792 in Milford. Following the check presentation, four representatives from the St. Joseph Council took time to tour KSI’s Milford facility, meeting program participants and seeing the newly renovated Life Enrichment area. The St. Joseph Council Knights donated funds to KSI as a result of their annual Tootsie Roll drive when they solicit donations to help those with intellectual or physical disabilities. Since 2016 the St. Joseph Council #3792 Knights have donated more than $13,000 to KSI.
