Mark Your Calendars for the
Knights of Columbus Breakfast
The Norwalk Knights of Columbus will be holding
a pancake breakfast on Sunday, January 20th from
8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at St. John the Apostle
Church, 720 Orchard Hills Drive in Norwalk.
The Knights will be serving pancakes, french toast,
sausage, scrambled eggs, fruit, coffee, juice and milk.
The proceeds will go to benefit the Level 3 Special
Education Class at the Norwalk Middle School. The
Level 3 class students are learning life skills to help
them later in life. Many of these skills are ones many
of us take for granted, and many of us may not have
known that this was being taught. So come and join
the Knights to support this great cause, and more
- importantly make known in our community that this
cause exists.
Thanks to the community for all their support of
the Knights and our young people.

Thursday, January 3, 2019
On December 12th at the Norwalk Fareway, the police department held the 3rd
Annual Cops with Carts
foodraiser. Due to the generous support from the community, approximately 8
police cars were filled with
food and many families will not be hungry over the next few months. The
foodraiser has become a fun
tradition for the department. To make the event so successful, the
officers donated $750 of their own money,
collected corporate sponsorships, and collected individual sponsorships
from community members who
expressed interest in helping.
During the event the officers asked Fareway customers to donate food or
cash to support the program.
The cash received was then spent by the officers on food as part of the
event. All food and all cash collected
before and during the event were donated to the Norwalk Food Pantry to be
used to support their mission
of feeding those in Warren County who may be food insecure. Who knew
grocery shopping could be so fun?
