Love thy neighbors as thyself
Our charitable works allow us to provide direct aid to those in need, such as food, clothing, shelter, and other essential resources. Our religious initiatives can offer spiritual support and guidance to individuals who seek it. By offering educational assistance, we can help individuals acquire knowledge and skills that can empower them to improve their lives and contribute to society.
Our dedication to social welfare indicates a commitment to addressing broader social issues and creating a positive impact on the community as a whole. Through public relief works, we collaborate with local authorities and organizations to provide support during times of crises or natural disasters.
By embodying the principle of "Love Thy Neighbors as Thyself," we promote empathy, compassion, and the importance of caring for one another. Our efforts have the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of those who require assistance and contribute to building a stronger, more inclusive community.
about us
Established in 2023 as an outreach of the St. Ignatius Knights of Columbus Council 9729 located in Forest Hill, MD, St. Ignatius Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc. (SIKCC) was formed to be the non-profit charitable organization that could better assist with fund raising thereby increasing our presence in the local community and throughout Harford County.
Our Mission Statement is quite simple: to provide assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members of the community through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare and public relief works. Our three core principals help to guide us in our activities.
Charity - our Catholic faith teaches us to "love thy neighbor as thyself". We show our love of neighbor by conducting food drives and donating to local food pantries and shelters, by volunteering at events or donating to organizations like Special Olympics, Camp Open Arms, and by supporting both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. We sponsor families who are in need of financial assistance, pro-life activities and more, that put God and family in the forefront.
Unity - None of us is as good as all of us. We know that together we can accomplish far more than any one of us could individually. By working together within our community, we can all make a difference.
Patriotism - Devotion and vigorous support for one's country and those who strive to protect it. First responders, emergency medical personnel, military personnel; every day heroes. We support our patriots and their families.
