St. Mary’s Knights of Columbus Recycling Event May 8th

From Tom Anguish

The St. Mary’s Knights of Columbus is supplementing its annual raffle by adding a special Electronics Recycling Charity Event with proceeds going to the Holliston Pantry Shelf and the Metrowest Veterans Emergency Assistance Fund.  Gather your old, unused items—of those listed below—and head over to St. Mary’s Church parking lot on Saturday, May 8th, between 9AM and 1PM to donate them for a nominal fee. 

The COVID 19 pandemic has been stressful for so many—both in personal as well as business lives, and non-profit organizations have been affected as well.  The Knights have—for past 13 years— conducted very successful charitable events, raising over $237,000 primarily for Holliston’s Pantry Shelf, Senior Center, Veterans organizations, and Habitat for Humanity.  The pandemic cut the Knights’ annual charity raffle efforts last year, resulting in a 50% decrease in its donations.

For its Electronics Recycling Charity Event, Knights are requesting a minimum donation of $10 for the first three items and just $5 for each additional item. We hope to see you with your donations on the 8th!
