On October 11th and 12th, 2008 The Knights of Columbus Council 13678 distributed 450 empty baby bottles to the parishoners of St. Elizabeth in Wyckoff, NJ. The parishoners were asked to return the baby bottles the following weekend filled with a contribution of their dollars and change, no amount was too small. The outstanding parishoners returned 270 bottles for a grand total in excess of $5,700.00. The worthy benefactor of this fund raising drive was Several Sources Shelters located in Ramsey NJ.
In her own words you can read the attached letter below from the Founder, Kathy DiFiore. The photo is of Kathy and a number of the current "saved" babies.
Thanks once more to the generous parishoners of St. Elizabeths parish from your Knights of Columbus Council. If anyone would like to deposit a baby bottle we would be pleased to have you drop it at the rectory office at your convenience.
