From the Enquirer-Gazette, Jan 17, 2008: Lions just keep on giving
Brandywine Lions Club, with the participation of area schools and B.K, Miller of Clinton, helped to give 118 food baskets to needy families in time for them to have a Christmas dinner.
Each year, the Brandywine Lions organize the distribution of food baskets for the needy. The area schools provide the dry and canned goods for these baskets.
According to a press release, the Dec. 21 collections from schools overflowed the tables set up to assist volunteers to fill each basket to provide a variety of food supplies for the family pantries. The donations were sorted by volunteers, then the next task was to fill the food baskets with a variety of stock collected. Gravy, cranberry sauce and even pumpkin pie filling were available to make for a Christmas celebration.
Miller provided the turkeys, milk and produce (potatoes, onions, oranges, apples, margarine and celery) at cost to the Lions Club to help each needy family enjoy a true Christmas dinner, said the release. Each family received two of the baskets — one filled with a Variety of canned and dry goods and the other with the turkey and produce. The two baskets are counted as one per family, but provided all that was needed for a healthy Christmas dinner and additional meals thereafter.
The Brandywine Lions Club organized and distributed the baskets Dec. 22 to the needy families. Other volunteers included the Tri-County Cruisers' Rod and Custom Car Club and others in the community.
