Long before delivery lines stretched across parking lots and long before hundreds of baskets were packed in a single day, the Henryetta Lions Club Christmas Basket Project lived quietly in the hearts and hands of a few dedicated Lions. It began with neighbors seeing a need, answering a call and believing that no child in their community should wake up on Christmas morning feeling forgotten. What started as a small act of service grew into a tradition that would shape generations - not only of families served, but of Lions themselves.
