You might be able to spot the Lions Train in Innerkip tomorrow as it collects food donations for the Salvation Army.
INNERKIP - The Innerkip and District Lions Club will be hitting the road with the Lions Train once again.
It's going to be collecting donations for the Salvation Army tomorrow afternoon. Club Secretary Tracey Vanderheide says they're going to start in the center of town at around 2:00 p.m.
"We tour through the village and usually we're done at about 4:30 p.m. People can bag their items or put them in boxes at the end of their driveway and as we drive by, we stop so we can pick them up and put them on the train."
If you haven't seen the Lions Train before, Vanderheide says it's truly one of a kind.
"It's a Kubota tractor pulling it. We've made an engine that goes over the Kubota tractor and then it links. We have cage with dancing lions, there's one flat bed that can carry food, there's another portion that people sit on and then there is the caboose."
The Lions Train has been a huge success in the past. Vanderheide says they managed to collect about two and a half truck loads of food donations the first time they used it last summer. The Club also managed to collect six truck loads of food and toy donations this past holiday season.
Vanderheide says they're hoping to collect five truck loads of donations tomorrow. You can find a list of the Salvation Army's most needed items below:
