THIS year’s Farnham Lions food collection produced 292 bags of assorted items which have been distributed to local agencies who in turn ensure they end up where most needed.

Two weeks ago, the Lions distributed leaflets and bags to nearly 1,800 homes in the hope residents would donate. And many did.

Those were collected last Sunday, sorted and packed into bags for single families, small families and larger families. Each bag contained a mix of basics and Christmas treats.

The Lions would like to thank all the households kind enough to make a donation and to all those who helped them collect and sort through the thousands of items.
