The results are in and those Tootsie Rolls you might have received at Jennings Tow and Repair, Fareway, Wal-Mart or Bomgaars were part of a great cause. The local Knights of Columbus again distributed the sweet treats, with goodwill offerings benefitting persons with intellectual disabilities. The Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive is held annually, with most of the donations distributed to Hope Haven in Spirit Lake and Estherville. The funds will assist with the Hope Haven mission, including: “As followers of Christ, we unleash potential in people through work and life skills so that they may enjoy a productive life in their community.” In addition, nearly a third of the funds were designated specifically for Special Olympics. Iowa Great Lakes Council 5043 is one of the most active in Iowa, in the past 2 years contributing more than $18,000.00 to local community needs!
