The local Knights of Columbus, St. Francis Council 1234, would like to thank the Galion community for their generous donations to our 2023 Measure-Up Campaign which occurred on May 5 and 6. We were able to collect $2,322 from the community and another $285 from our members’ “gimme five” program for a total of $2607.

This money will be used to support special needs children and adults throughout Ohio with most of the money coming back locally to be used to help those in the greatest need in our area. We would also like to thank Drug Mart manager Agi Kiss, Dairy Queen manager Natalie Hornbeck, GBL Bank President Don Barr, and FFB of Ohio President Joe Clime for allowing us to solicit funds at their respective businesses. Wendy’s was under construction during our campaign this year, so we were unable to take advantage of their generosity. Once again, we dedicate our efforts and respectfully honor Don Heimlich, who ran this program successfully for several years until his passing on Jan. 8, 2020.
