Dear Sir Knights,

The Christmas Cheer program that our Assembly started over 12 years ago gives assistance to those in need during the Christmas season.

Due to the ongoing generosity of our members, the $15.00 we ask of you as members of Stritch Assembly has enabled us to help the many food pantry’s, churches, community groups, and other charitable organizations as they administer to those less fortunate in our Cook County area.

This year we hope to donate over $5,000.00 to those in need!

I wish to Thank the members of our Assembly who have donated so far, and ask those of you who haven’t as of yet to PLEASE consider donating.

It is due to the support of you, our members, that we are able to support this worthwhile program.

Here is a list of the charities we donated to this year:

• St. Joseph Carmelite Home for Girls Manteno Veteran’s Home
• Hines Hospital
• All Souls Food Pantry
• Office of the Deaf
• Mercy Home for Boys and Girls
• St. Vincent de Paul - St. Christopher
• Lansing Food Pantry
• Calumet City Resource Center
• Fr. McGivney Home
• New Star
• Manteno Veterans Home
• St. Mary of Providence
• Missionary Sisters of St. Benedict
• Christ Our Savior Food Pantry
• Aid For Women Pregnancy Care Center
• Chicago Special Olympics
  

I wish to Thank the members of our Assembly who have donated so far, and ask those of you who haven’t as of yet to PLEASE consider donating.

It is due to the support of you, our members, that we are able to support this worthwhile program.

Fraternally,

Mike Schnabel
