On Saturday, September 21, 2024, the St. Veronica Knights of
Columbus Council 12579 will again hold a donation drive collecting
durable medical equipment, which the Council will deliver to Medical
Missionaries of Manassas, VA. The collection will take place at the
parish office side parking lot, 9-11 AM. The Knights will be pleased to
receive from you:
· clean used manual wheelchairs, cane, crutches, walkers, splints and
braces, manual scales, and toilet attachments;
· unused dressings, bandages, disposable diapers, exam gloves, wipes,
and other packaged disposable medical care items; and
· over the counter unopened medication with an expiration date of at
least 6 months
The Knights may not accept syringes, prescription medicines, any
electric-powered items, drainage systems, feeding tube items, or
broken items. Our point of contact is Frank Brickfield, MD,

supplies to Appalachia, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and several sites

directly to them as well. See their website at https://
