Knights of Columbus to hold annual Tootsie Roll Drive April 29–May 2

The Merrill Knights of Columbus will hold its annual Tootsie Roll Drive April 29 through May 2, 2026, at three area locations: Culver’s, Dollar Tree, and County Market.
At Culver’s, Knights will collect donations outside the restaurant, weather permitting. Should rain move in, a booth near the front entrance will serve as an alternate location, and drive-through staff will invite customers to contribute. At Dollar Tree and County Market, Knights will be stationed outside each entrance.
County Market cashiers will also ask customers if they’d like to round up their purchase total, with the store sending a lump-sum contribution to the organization at the end of the month.
Last year’s drive raised more than $6,000. Proceeds are distributed to local special needs organizations, including Special Olympics, Camp Epic, Merrill High School Special Education, and Bell Tower Residence.
