Program Purpose

The North Carolina Knights of Columbus provide rapid, compassionate, and organized assistance to families,
parishes, and communities affected by natural disasters. Rooted in the Order's principles of Charity, Unity,
and Fraternity, our statewide network ensures help arrives when it's needed most. Prepare your community before disaster strikes. Councils engage their parish and community in disaster preparedness exercises by organizing trainings, fundraisers and awareness activities.

Program Overview

Communities can be brought to a halt when disaster occurs – from large natural disasters to local crises. As community leaders, Knights of Columbus can help ensure that their members, families and parish communities are prepared through a campaign promoting planning and education. This program motivates councils to take a holistic approach to emergency situations by readiness in times of crisis, assessing response capabilities, and learning how to properly respond well ahead of a disaster. Councils will also raise funds and teach (where applicable) in anticipation of larger efforts to assist brothers in need.
