Streamwood Knights Supporting Homeless Veterans & Food Pantry

Later this month we celebrate Memorial Day. As the famous song by Billy Ray Cyrus says, "All gave some - some gave all." In honor of those that gave all, and to those that gave some and are struggling, Mary's Millennium Council once again appeals to the community to assist us in helping our homeless veterans.

Leave No Hero Behind

It is sad to say that there are veterans in our midst left behind due to homelessness, joblessness, poverty and/or mental health issues. The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans (MSHV) mission is to "Leave No Hero Behind." This fits nicely with the Knights of Columbus' "Leave No Neighbor Behind." Working together we can make a difference in the lives of these veterans.

Donate Today

Visit our dedicated web page, https://kofc12801.square.site/veterans, to make a monetary donation using your credit card or Google Pay. In addition, select household and personal items from the current wish list. Items can be brought to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish, 502 S. Park Blvd., Streamwood IL 60107 through May 31, 2022. We will bring items to the shelter after Memorial Day.
