The God’s Divine Mercy Council #14463 of the Knights of Columbus in Yorkville donated $2,000 to Kendall County Special Olympics and $2,000 to Equine Dreams at their Dec. 14 meeting. The funds came from the Knights’ annual “ID Drive”, where the Knights collect donations for tootsie rolls, in September.
