The St. Philip the Apostle Council 9530 of the Knights of Columbus in Bakersfield recently conducted fraternal activities to benefit non-profit organizations in the community. Between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the council conducted an online drive that raised $800 for the Bakersfield Pregnancy Center through the Knights of Columbus’ initiative Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP). Then on July 22, the council donated items for a breakfast feed at St. Vincent de Paul Society as well as prepared and served the meals for more than 150 homeless people. Additionally, a pallet with cases of bottled water was donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Four years ago, St. Philip Council 9530 was honored by the California State Council as the Council of the Year from among 700 councils in the state.
