FOOD FOR FAMILIES REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
10057 11/12
Due By: JUNE 30
The Knights of Columbus Food for Families Reimbursement Program was established in 2012. Under this program,
local Knights of Columbus councils or assemblies make an annual contribution of $500 or more, or 500 pounds of food
to a local community food bank or parish food pantry. For every $500 or 500 pounds of food contributed, the council
or assembly is eligible for a refund of $100 from the Supreme Council. The maximum refund a council or assembly can
receive is $500 per fraternal year. For Columbian Squires circles, the minimum donation is $100, or 100 pounds of food,
with each circle eligible to receive from the Supreme Council a refund of $20 for each $100 donated or 100 pounds of
food. Reimbursement must be applied for in the fraternal year during which contributions were made.
As resources permit, councils, assemblies and circles may provide support to multiple food banks and/or food
pantries. The minimum contribution to qualify for a refund is $500 ($100 for Squires circles) for each food bank/food
pantry supported.
In addition to a refund for financial contributions, councils, assemblies and circles are also eligible to receive a Food
for Families plaque (and, in successive years, date plates signifying years of participation) in recognition of manpower
support provided to food banks and food pantries. Significant manpower support is required, and should be outlined
in Section II of this application.
