funds to assist people with intellectual disabilities in North Carolina. The individual Knights of Columbus Councils are responsible for collecting the funds. Eighty-five percent of the proceeds are awarded by the local councils to agencies which provide training or services to mentally handicapped individuals. The remainder is distributed state-wide to similar agencies by the LAMB Foundation of North Carolina. Operation LAMB has raised over $16 million dollars for citizens of North Carolina with intellectual disabilities. This entire amount was raised without a single paid employee thanks to the more than 12,000 Knights state-wide, who along with their friends and families spend long hours giving away Tootsie Rolls and accepting donations. Donations are also received from community businesses. During 2008, Council #9039 will hold fund-raisers at Food Lion Stores, Lowes Food Stores, an IGA Grocery Store, Wal-Mart and at Saint Brendan's Church.
