9th Annual St. Pius X Relieving Hunger Dinner
January is Hunger Awareness Month. On Friday, January 9th, 2026, the Stickney-Forest View Lions Club hosted families in need for our 9th Annual Relieving Hunger Dinner. Started in January of 2017, we fed the families being serviced by the St. Pius X Family Ministries for the holidays. We started that year with 15 families, and now we have been serving around 30 plus families. This year, we served 33 families and 118 meals. The families being served took home a roasted chicken dinner with potatoes, vegetables, a roll and dessert enough to enjoy dinner that evening and leftovers for some families to enjoy again.

Happy Holidays from the Stickney-Forest View Lions Club
On December 7th, our Club celebrated the holidays by taking in It's a Wonderful Life: the Radio Play at The Jedlicka Performing Arts Center at Morton College. We followed that with dinner at Salerno's in Hodgkins where President Desi thanked the Club for all its hard work and PDG Jerry did a little trivia to award some prizes. Happy holidays to all from the Stickney-Forest View Lions Club.

Stickney-Forest View Lions Food Pantry
If anyone has been looking for our Stickney-Forest View Lions Club Food Pantry, it is still located at the Forest View Village Hall. It has just been moved to the north end of the second floor. We invite the community to help keep this much needed resource stocked with non-perishable food items and hygiene products. If you should notice the pantry needs restocking, please email us at sfvlions@gmail.com. Thank you again to the Village of Forest View for hosting our pantry.
