Mission
To make a difference by assisting those less fortunate
Vision
To offer a bit of assistance to as many persons as possible who
have suffered household loss as a result of disasters, giving
preference to Brother Knights first, fellow Catholics second, and
assisting others third.
Assistance is not intended to offer complete
relief, replace insurance, or take care of health needs, but to offer
ready cash to assist in everyday living needs as lives are put back
together.
A disaster is identified as, “a damaging or destructive event: an event that causes
serious loss, destruction, hardship, unhappiness, or death”.
A natural disaster is identified as, “a disaster caused by natural forces: an event
caused by natural forces rather than by human action that causes serious loss,
destruction, hardship, unhappiness, or death”.
For the purpose of this protocol we will be dealing with disasters and natural disasters
as defined above and will refer to them as disaster(s).
