The Knights of Columbus annual Wheelchair Fundraising Drive runs the month of February. The wheelchairs from lasts year’s program were successfully delivered to the Ukraine.

This year’s program will go to Costa Rica, an impoverished country with considerable need for wheelchairs, especially children.
Wheelchairs still cost $195 and there are a number of payment options available, including donating online through the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation Website. See the attached PDF (donor form) for more information.
