Texas Wheelchair Mission

Texas Brother Knights,

Attached is the Wheelchair Mission Donations by Diocese and Council received as of August 31, 2024. Thank you and God bless you to the 43 Councils that donated a total of $40,497 for 270 wheelchairs this fraternal year. At this time last fraternal year, 41 Councils and the First Lady’s Initiative donated $94,244 for 628 wheelchairs.

The goal for District Deputies this fraternal year, is to have all their Councils donate at least $150 for one wheelchair and have at least one of their Councils hold a Wheelchair Sunday.

Please make checks payable to American Wheelchair Mission and include the attached donation form. To donate online, please visit amwheelchair.org/donate and select “Knights of Columbus” in the Campaign field and enter your Council Number in the Organization/Council field.
