*Councils are encouraged to conduct their drive during this weekend. However, if special circumstances prevent this, the insurance purchased by the State Council covers all weekends in October.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of every Knight, the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center moved in 2013 to a larger facility within the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation building, expanding from 4,200 sq. ft. to 10,500 sq. ft. The new location provides better accessibility and a larger staff to support children with developmental disabilities.

Our Commitment
Missouri Knights of Columbus are dedicated to supporting organizations that promote the health, education, and welfare of individuals with developmental disabilities. This commitment is highlighted each year through the Drive for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, previously known as the “Tootsie Roll Drive'.
