Sooke Santa Sacks are an annual project of the Sooke District Lions Club, started in 2004-2005 to bring Christmas gifts to families in need. Fundraising for this project is done through our annual Oktoberfest. Sacks are made by Lionesses Jean C. and Jean W. Shirley Community Association provided some of the material. Club members shop for each family according to age and needs.
