Presentation made to Bishop Dunn in Antigonish.

Errol O’Neil, State Deputy for the Nova Scotia State Council of the Knights of Columbus, presented Bishop Brian Dunn with a cheque for $3,771. A total of $9,316 was given to three dioceses in Nova Scotia from through the Supreme Council. The council put up $1 million in support of the order's Food for Families program which was distributed to state councils in the U.S. and Canada to donate to food pantries and soup kitchens in dioceses in their respective jurisdictions. To qualify, 25 percent of the councils in each jurisdiction were required to take part in the program. In Nova Scotia, 38 percent took part. The goal of the program is to increase outreach to these facilities. In the Diocese of Antigonish the money will be distributed through St. Vincent de Paul Society in Sydney, Antigonish and New Glasgow.
