The Christmas Food Appeal
Christmas Food Appeal will be running on the following dates
Thurs 5th, Fri 6th, Sat7, and Sun 8th of December
The Douglas & District Lions Club have been holding their Annual Christmas Appeal for many years in the local village shopping centres, distributing much needed help to over 300 families through a number of the Vincent De Paul conferences, the Cork Sick Poor Society, The Sisters of Charity and to their many young families in need in their catchment area.
A number of both primary and secondary schools in Douglas also greatly support the Christmas Appeal every year along with the members of the Cork Sugar Craft Association, who provide Novelty Christmas Cakes every year to the Appeal.
The Club members along with their many volunteer Collectors give of their time over four days collecting at the shopping centres and arrange for the distribution of the food hampers and food vouchers a week before Christmas.
Our thanks go to the three large shopping centres in Douglas, the local Douglas Post and the Priests of the parish who advertise the appeal, The club appreciates the huge community effort each year, and that for the many deserving families in the community in which we serve, Christmas is more cheerful as a result of the Christmas Food Appeal.
