The Ellijay Lions Club will have a special sign-up day for its White Christmas program at the club’s headquarters Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
With White Christmas, the Lions Club provides presents for kids to families in need. This year, club members plan on taking some kids along for in-person Christmas shopping.
Applications first have to be submitted and approved before families can receive the assistance.
Lions Club member Ruthann Harding said some White Christmas applications have already been accepted either by Gilmer Family Connection or at another sign-up event the Lions did earlier this month, but they would like to help more than the approximately 30 kids who are currently registered.
“This will be the last (sign-up event), so we can have enough time to do the shopping,” said Harding.
The Ellijay Lions Club is located at 1729 South Main Street. Those signing up for White Christmas need to provide proof of Gilmer County residency and Social Security numbers for each child.
