Members of our council shape the future of our towns. We are proud of our fellow knights that serve in local leadership and service roles. Members of our Knights serve on elected and appointed town boards, on town party committees, on the governing boards of various charities and non-profits, etc.
The Andover Knights of Columbus enthusiastically support many of the programs of Lazarus House. Our member knights volunteer at the Lazarus House Soup Kitchen, serve in various capacities on Lazarus House's boards, donate money to the shelter (including buying beds for the shelter in 2017), and promote/participate in various events such as Project Bethlehem.

Our council supports and promotes the welfare of veterans. We are proud to fulfill the Patriotic principle of our order by celebrating those who chose to serve.
