The mission of Knight Hands is to assist those in the Holy Spirit parish area live a more peaceful and stress free life by providing minor home repairs, household chores, and transportation services to those who qualify.  Only Knights of Columbus of this council can refer a needy person to the director of Knight Hands.

Soon after joining the Knights in 2010, Allen created the Knight Hands program and his natural leadership ability has inspired many brothers to want to participate in this most worthy cause. Thus far since the inception, Knight Hands has completed nearly 500 projects ranging from 2–280 man/hours.  The experience of helping others locally is a powerful one as many of our members can attest. Knight Hands was featured in the June 2016 issue of Columbia magazine and inspired other councils around the world to inquire how they could start their own program.
