CARRINGTON, N.D. – The local Knights of Columbus (KC) Council 4951 will hold their annual spaghetti feed, followed by a silent auction and bingo on Sunday, February 18 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Carrington.
The event will once again support the work of the "Friends of Chimbote" organization that North Dakota priest, Father Jack Davis, was instrumental in for so many years.
What once were called "soup kitchens" in Chimbote, Peru, to help nourish the poor, have expanded over the years to include providing food, education, resources and services for the surrounding barrios (areas with minimal services like electricity, water and roads). Since 2000, over 2,500 people have received micro-loans to help start or keep a business going to support themselves or their families, students have been able to continue learning and thousands of meals have been served.
The organization's efforts ultimately focus on education as a means to transform lives and open the doors of opportunity.
The KC's hope you can make it to this year's event which will include a freewill meal of spaghetti and alfredo, salad and dessert from 5 - 6:30 p.m., with a silent auction and bingo to follow. Bingo will be 3 cards for $1.00 or $0.50/card for cash prizes.
If you are interested in donating an item for the silent auction, please contact Henry Simons at (701) 652-3289.
