THANK YOU to all our supporters.

COVID-19 restrictions made our usual Christmas Food Appeal collections impossible. We turned to a ‘Go Fund Me’ page to generate income the response was fabulous – THANK YOU.

We are also extremely grateful for donations from the following: CBS Primary School, Bright Sparks Childcare Centre, Tesco Mitchelstown, Horgan's Delicatessen Supplies , Dealz Ireland, Curraghalla NS School, Kilbehenny Cycling Club & Galtee Wheelers Cycling Clubs, Bank of Ireland, Mitchelstown Credit Union and the many private donations we received.

The Club distributed in excess of 130 food hampers & vouchers to families in the Mitchelstown and surrounding areas.

Thank you to Bright Sparks Childcare Centre Mitchelstown who organised a Food collection over the last few weeks and to all the donors who donated the food. The food has now been handed over to the Lions Club who will distribute to needy families in the Mitchesltown area. The photo shows Lion Billy O'Donovan accepting the food from Caire, with helper Sam, Lucia, Megan and Fionn.

"Not a great photo of me but the face shield is great. Tried it out today in Newtownbutler GP Surgery. Thanks Rachel".
