Thirty families consisting of 90 children and 50 adults received a visit from the Christmas Elves via our Lions members, their families and friends.
The whole project was pieced together by 8 weeks of coordinating our efforts into making it successful.
- Purchasing an outfit for each child; Lions individually buying toys for each child
- Sorting the gifts from the Tradesmen Motorcycle Club for each child
- Packing a stocking filled with necessities for each child
- Shopping” at our store of foods donated through the school food drives for each family
- Packing the fresh produce and breads for each family
- Wrapping the clothes for each child and sorting them into family bags for each family
- Filling the bags with towels and wash clothes and a throw for each family
- Purchasing the perishables; selecting a homemade card made by the Leos of Baker Middle School for each family
- Receiving the boxes of cookies from the Goldstein family
- Delivering 3-4 boxes of food, 2 -3 bags of gifts to each family
- Businesses, Friends and Lions sharing their donations to the Holiday Fund
- Sharing 2 truckloads of non-perishable foods with the HELP Closet
You, your families, your friends, the Leos – all of you made this happen. It takes a membership working together to make such a caring and loving project come to fruition.
A sincere THANK YOU to all of you!
