On Saturday Oct. 31st, Knights of Columbus Council 1600 Hastings MN held our Coats for Kids free winter coat distribution. We gave away approximately 150 coats during the distribution and donated what we had left to Hastings Family Service. This annual event is done in partnership with Hastings Family Service who provided caps, gloves and mittens. HFS is also very helpful in marketing the event locally to families who might need a little financial help. Our goal is to ensure kids stay warm during the cold winter months.
