This is the 78th year of the Pekin Lions Christmas Basket project. In 2020 due to COVID restrictions, we migrated to a food voucher rather than actual distribution of food baskets. We found that to be a much better way to provide food to the needy as it allows the recipient to purchase the food they need and prefer. We again are asking for the support of the Pekin Community to help us keep this project viable. Our goal this year is $14,000 in the hopes of providing vouchers to 200 families. All donations can be mailed to the Pekin Lions Club Christmas Basket project, P.O. Box 751, Pekin, IL 61555-0751. You can nominate a family to receive a voucher, and it must be received no later than December 4. Include name, address, phone number, ages of children, and their means of support. Please also provide your name and phone number. Thank you for any financial donation to help us with this project.
