The Knights of Columbus has already begun sending money to the region (including those areas in Florida hit by Katrina), and has set up a special charitable fund for Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts.

One of the nice things about giving through the Knights is this (from the Knights of Columbus website):

"One hundred percent of contributions will go directly to hurricane relief, and all donations to Knights of Columbus USA are tax-deductible."

After 9/11, the Knights gave more than $1 million to families of victims, especially first responders.

So, if you really want to make sure that every penny you send gets to help the victims of the hurricane, you can send your donations to:

U.S. Donors:

Knights of Columbus
Charities USA, Inc.
Gift Processing Center
PO Box 9028
Pittsfield, MA 01202-9028
Attention: Hurricane KATRINA Relief


Canadian Donors:

Knights of Columbus
Canada Charities Inc.
Gift Processing Center
PO Box 7252 Station A
Toronto, ON M5W 1X9
Attention: Hurricane KATRINA Relief

I am assuming you are a Knight yourself? So am I. I just completed my third degree.

I've just learned that the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus is donating $2.5 million to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

This is over and above the donations received by the Knights of Columbus Charities earmarked for hurricane relief.
