The most inspirational event annually for the Jordan Lions Club seems to be the food basket for the needy program.

Last year, the Lions handed out 164 baskets to needy families from the Jordan area and could surpass the record total this year with the state of the economy.

Area churches are signing families up earlier this year to compensate for it and are getting more returns than usual. The deadline to sign up is today, Dec. 1, with distribution on Dec. 9.
