Press Release by the Forney Lions Club

The Forney Lions Club, through its Angel Tree Program, and Brookshire’s through its “Spirit of Christmas” food drive will once again partner to assist families who live in the Forney Independent School District and who need help this year with Christmas gifts for the children and food for the families.

To qualify for assistance, families are invited to apply at one of two signup events instead of by telephone as in years past. No signups will be taken by telephone. In order to help the greatest number of children, the Forney Lions Club has established the following qualifications: (1) The person signing up the children must be a parent or legal guardian and show a photo ID. (2) The children must live in the Forney Independent School District with the parent or legal guardian. (3) Families receiving assistance for Christmas gifts from other agencies are ineligible.

The events will be held on:
Wednesday, November 18 from 5:00 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the cafeteria of Johnson Elementary School located at 701 S. Bois d’Arc.
Saturday, November 21 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the cafeteria of Johnson Elementary School located at 701 S. Bois d’Arc.

If you have questions about the Angel Tree Program, please attend one of the above signup events.

At the Forney Hometown Christmas on December 5 the Lions Club will set up an Angel Christmas Tree in front of the Sub-Courthouse on Main Street. The community is invited to stop by and adopt one or more of the angels.
