West St. Louis County Lions members from Eureka shopped Tuesday morning for six Missouri School For The Blind MO school students at the Walmart Supercenter in Eureka.

Lions' member Bryan Kiefer said they had an "awesome day" with the activity.

Kiefer said seven members helped buy a little more than $2,000 worth of gifts Tuesday, and packed the presents. He said they will present the gifts on Dec. 20 at the Christmas pageant held at the school.

Kiefer said West St Louis County Lions do this gifting donation each Christmas. Read about last year's effort:
