About Knights of Columbus - Switzerland Council - 12664
Food For Families
Our Food for Families (F4F) donations are dependent on Knights of Columbus and private cash donations. The cash donations are then used to purchase groceries at “Buy One Get One” sales combined with manufacturer and store coupons at Publix, CVS, Winn Dixie, and Walmart supermarkets. In the past 15 years, we have purchased and donated over 40,000 pounds of food valued at approximately $138,000. This is accomplished by averaging over 50 shopping trips a month.
We more than triple our money when a good coupon/sale
opportunity arises. We spend countless hours weekly researching, coupon cutting, shopping, and delivering. We also receive help from Westminster Woods seniors who save coupons for us.
The grocery purchases are donated weekly to local food banks that serve needy families from Duval and St Johns County, FL.
