The local Knights of Columbus Council #6964 is seeking volunteers to sell tootsie rolls at its annual, worldwide Intellectual Disabilities Drive to be held on September 21-23. Last year, the Illinois Knights of Columbus raised over $1.8 million to support non-profit programs that help people with all types of intellectual disabilities.
We are asking for volunteers to sell tootsie rolls after all the Masses, at tables outside of select stores or on designated street corners. The participating stores include: Valli Produce, Jewel (2 locations), Walgreens (3 locations) and Maxfield’s. Children under 18 are welcome to help after the Masses and in front of stores, but must be accompanied by an adult.
To volunteer or learn more about this fundraising event, please email
