The Haddonfield Lions Club in conjunction with the Pennsauken Lions Club hosted its annual Target Holiday Shopping Event for students who have visual impairments on Sunday, Dec. 4. With the help of Target on Route 38 in Cherry Hill, the LEOS Clubs of high school students from Haddonfield, Pennsauken and Gloucester City hosted 33 visually challenged students who received gift cards and shopped for their families.
The tradition, now going on 20 years, included refreshments and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Students left with wrapped gifts they can put under the tree for their parents, brothers and sisters.
The New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired brings students to shop and every year all who are involved have a meaningful and fun time. Earlier this year, the Lions Clubs of Haddonfield and Pennsauken honored Target for its generosity and participation.
