On Saturday, October 4, 2025, 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, 703-597-9621, francxb@yahoo.com.

Our partner, Medical Missionaries, has collected and shipped medical supplies to Appalachia, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and several sites in Africa for over 25 years. You may donate equipment and supplies directly to them as well. See their website at https://www.medicalmissionaries.org for collection site, hours and contact
