In an incredible outpouring of support that makes me proud to call Forney home, the Forney community adopted all 175 angels that were on the Forney Lions Club Angels Tree at today’s Hometown Christmas. Including the 35 angels that were adopted before today, all 210 angels on this year’s Lions Club Angels Tree have now been adopted. The community will be providing toys and clothing for 210 Forney children this year through the Lions Club Angels Tree, in addition to the children that will be reached through other efforts this Christmas.
