The Knights of Columbus in Pella are gearing up for the 21st annual Campaign for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities. From August 24th to 31st, members of the organization and athletes from Pella and Pella Christian will be collecting donations in front of the Pella Hy-Vee, Fareway, and Walmart stores. Joe Lickteig with the Knights of Columbus says the drive benefits Christian Opportunity Center, the special education programs at Pella and Pella Christian Schools, and the Iowa Special Olympics. He says they will once again hold a telethon, but this time in addition to donations, he and the Knights will try to find businesses interested in working with COC to provide work opportunities for the people they serve. Stay tuned to 92.1 KRLS to hear more, including special Let’s Talk Pella programs over the next two weeks about the annual Campaign for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities.
