Kendall County Kids of Intellectual Disabilities

Please Help these local special needs children in Kendall County. You can Order our traditional tootsie rolls or just make a donation.

Each year across the Nation the Knights of Columbus Councils each launch their own Intellectual Disabilities Charity drive. (ID Drive) This ID Drive is sometimes known as the "Tootsie Roll Drive" which benefits local organizations in each Council's respective area such as Special Olympics, Equine Dreams and many others.

In the past annually one weekend each September you would see the volunteers and members of the Knights of Columbus out in public, at stores, intersections, and other areas wearing their famous yellow vests taking donations and giving away Tootsie Rolls. All donations are 100% given to the local area charities who benefit children with intellectual disabilities.
