President Biden and the first lady were greeted thumbs-down in their visit to Lahaina, Hawaii. The people there were unhappy with the federal government’s response to the devastation from the fires.
The loss of life and homes deserved more than no comment from President Biden in answer to a question. And yet there have been many charity groups that have taken immediate action.
Now one such group was a Knights of Columbus Council, Our Lady of Peace from Honolulu. They filled a boat with clothing, sleeping bags, food items, toilet paper and other items.
Now the whole of the Knights of Columbus is asked to get involved with donations to help as well. I myself am Grand Knight of St. Anastasia Knights of Columbus Council #5911 Douglaston and will ask my council to get involved as well. We believe charity to those in need is what we do.
