Christmas 2024 A Success

Panorama Lions Charitable Foundation Brings Joy to Community with Expanded 2024 Annual Christmas Program

The Panorama Lions Charitable Foundation (PLCF) has successfully wrapped up its 2024 Christmas Program, continuing its mission to spread holiday cheer to those in need within the community.

Originally established in 2006 by the “Panorama Samaritans,” an informal group of compassionate Panorama Village residents, the program provides underprivileged children with the opportunity to enjoy a shopping spree at Kroger Marketplace in Willis. In 2022, the Panorama Lions Club embraced this initiative, transitioning it to a standalone program under the Foundation’s stewardship. Willis Kroger Assistant Manager Jeanette Williams ensured the children’s shopping experience was seamless and memorable, topping it off with a heartwarming pancake breakfast for the young shoppers.

Last year, the PLCF expanded its reach by including senior citizens in the program, delivering nine Christmas baskets to seniors. This year, thanks to the generous support of the Montgomery County Community Foundation, the program grew further, enabling the distribution of additional holiday baskets to seniors. The TLC Food Pantry in Willis, under the dedicated guidance of Laurel Traylor, played an instrumental role in identifying eligible children and seniors for both activities.

The 2024 Christmas Program was a tremendous success. The PLCF extends its gratitude to all partners, volunteers, and supporters who contributed to this effort.
