Each
year, the Sooke Lions Club organizes their volunteers and
members of the Sooke District Lioness Club and the Sooke
Harbourside Lions for the Chip-In for the Kids, a weekend
fundraiser for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities
(Camp Shawnigan). We set up outside the Home Hardware in
Sooke, where people bring us their Christmas trees. Lions
also pick up trees from those who can't transport their
own. All donations go to support Camp Shawnigan. All of
the trees are chipped up and re-cycled.
