Knights of Columbus to distribute free winter clothes Oct. 26

Knights of Columbus members from Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls will distribute free winter clothes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 26 at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 625 E. Haycraft Ave., Coeur d'Alene.

The Knights will distribute new coats, hats, gloves and scarves. Coats will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis for toddlers through teens.

Since its Coats for Kids program launched in 2009, Knights of Columbus has distributed coats in 49 U.S. states and all 10 Canadian provinces — including on U.S. military bases and Native American and First Nation reservations in the U.S. and Canada. 

The two Knights of Columbus councils from Coeur d'Alene and one from Post Falls are three of the 17,000 councils that comprise the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization.
