The Natchitoches Knights of Columbus will be giving out free Tootsie Rolls this Saturday, Oct. 20. Their annual “Tootsie Roll Drive” is a national effort to collect funds for the mentally challenged. Watch for their yellow vests and collection cans at local stores and please be generous. Every little bit helps. Pictured above are Henry Rachal, Chad Thibedeax and Barry Antee.
Does the money they collect from this help our mentally challenged people locally or nationally?
All money collected stays in Natchitoches. The Natchitoches Association for Retarded Citizens, NARC.
Last year we collected $2000 and the Knights added another $1500 to the cause.

Who doesn’t love Tootsie Rolls?! They’re the first things we ate out of our Trick or Treat bags.
