Lions, firefighters sponsor Christmas food basket program

The Jordan Lions and the Jordan Fire Department will provide Christmas food baskets for needy families in the Jordan area once again for this Christmas season.

This Christmas project is run in conjunction with local churches, service organizations and individuals. The overall program is additionally funded by the Lions' Breakfast with Santa scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 11, at St. John’s parish hall, free-will donations from area churches, and private donors.

To insure confidentiality, families wishing to participate in the Christmas basket program should contact a member of the clergy from any Jordan church.

The Jordan Lion’s will deliver the food baskets to area churches on Tuesday, Dec. 13. The clergy will be responsible for the distribution of the food baskets.
