Florida Knights of Columbus Disaster Relief Fund

Answering the Call When Disaster Strikes at Home

Disasters don’t wait—and neither do the Florida Knights of Columbus.

Whether it's hurricanes, flooding, or other unexpected tragedies, Florida Knights have consistently stepped forward to bring immediate aid, relief, and hope to our neighbors in need. Local councils, in partnership with the State Council and the Supreme Council, activate quickly to assess needs and deliver timely assistance to those affected across our state.

 

Recent Relief Efforts in Florida Include:

  • Hurricane Ian (2022) – One of the most destructive storms in Florida’s history. Florida Knights were on the ground delivering food, water, cleaning supplies, and financial support to families in Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, and surrounding areas.
  • Hurricane Idalia (2023) – Impacting the Big Bend region, local councils in North Florida responded with manpower, supplies, and direct assistance to parishes and families.
  • Hurricanes Helene and Milton (2024) – These back-to-back hurricanes caused flooding damage to many homes on Florida's West Coast. Florida Knights responded with cleanup crews and provided financial aid to those members with severe damage.
  • Tornadoes and Flooding (Central & South Florida) – Councils have supported cleanup and recovery in the wake of storm surges and unexpected weather events.
