Thank you to the Cambridge community for the support shown during the Lions Club Christmas project! Cambridge Lions have been organizing this event for over 50 years and this year was able to provide food, toys, personal care kits and gift cards to 50 families in Cambridge community and the surrounding area. Their partners from the Holbrook Lions and the Indianola Knights of Columbus helped with the delivery in their communities on Saturday morning and the Cambridge Supermarket staff packed all the food boxes. The gifts were sure to make the holiday season a little brighter for everyone!

The Oxford Ministerial would like to thank those who helped with getting gifts for those participating in the Giving Tree or giving donations for the Giving Tree. It was a very successful Giving Tree season! We appreciate all who gave so generously to make this such a success!!!
