The Emmaus Lions Club receives requests each year from individuals or friends about a family in the Emmaus area who has had a personal tragedy in their life and how difficult it would be to provide for a nice Christmas.The Emmaus Lions Club, with the help of the East Penn School District Angel Network, helped families this past holiday by having a Christmas visit. The visit provides a meal for the family to enjoy on Christmas Day, as well as a few presents for the young children. The Christmas visitation project has a long history with the club as well as the community. RIGHT: Lion Henry Heil and Lion Al Kneller wrap gifts for the families.
