Du Quoin Lions Food Basket Applications Are Available

The Du Quoin Lions Club Christmas basket applications are now available. They may be picked up at the Du Quoin Fire Department or the Du Quoin Farm Fresh store on South Washington Street.

Applications must be signed by someone other than the person requesting the basket. Business stamps will not be accepted as a signature. The last day to turn in an application is Friday, Dec. 6 at 5 p.m. After this time applications will not be accepted.

Baskets will be delivered on Sunday, Dec. 16 beginning at noon. The person receiving the basket must be home for the basket to be delivered. Baskets will not be left with a neighbor or on a porch. Anyone who would like to make a cash donation to this year's Christmas basket program can make out a check to the Du Quoin Lions Club and mail it to Lions member Bruce Summers, 115 South Washington Street, Du Quoin, Illinois 62832.

Anyone wishing to donate can goods for the project may leave them on the front porch at 115 South Washington Street or call Lion Bruce Summers at 534-7226 to have them picked up. Also, this year's Crazy Cop event will be held Dec. 6.
