Knights of Columbus golf tournament helps support local food pantries

By Richard Strauss

Each year the Monsignor Meaney, Knights of Columbus 9042, Elbridge, NY conducts a Golf Tournament at the Pearl Lakes Golf Course, Skaneateles to benefit the Jordan-Elbridge and Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantries.

Men’s winners:  Ray Miles, Joe Nigo, Ray Jesmer, Chris Perry.

Mixed winners:  John & Carol Walrath with Sandy and Chuck Longretta

Of course, the real winners are the distressed families who benefit from these local food pantries.

The event was able to raise with the help of Welch Allyn and Sysco of Syracuse well over $3,600 in cash and provisions shared by the two food pantries.

With the ever increasing needs locally, our food pantries are being stretched to maintain the level of outreach to those in need.  Each donation of non-perishable food items and financial support is greatly appreciated.

In the 11 years of this modest tournament, the Elbridge Council has been able to disburse in cash and provisions over $28,000 for the two food pantries.
