Members of the Natchitoches Lions Club gathered at First Baptist Church to pack Operation Christmas Child boxes, filling them with gifts and essentials for children around the world.

In addition to packing the boxes, the Lions Club contributed to cover shipping costs. Terminator Pest Management and Preston Durr generously matched the donation, doubling the impact and helping even more children receive these holiday gifts.

The gathering also included a special celebration for longtime Lions Club member Mimi Stoker, honoring her birthday and her years of dedicated service to the community.

The Natchitoches Lions Club continues to demonstrate the power of community service, combining volunteer efforts and partnerships to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need.
