Bantry Bay Lions Flood Appeal
The people of Bantry Glengarrif and Durus have shown themselves extremely generous
Food Appeal Cash - €1,285.00
Food Appeal Food [Approx] - € 750.00
Charity Shop - €4,000.00
Gleengarriff Theater Group - €450.00
Total - €10,410.47
Added to this is the range of toys and goods already donated to the Red Cross both at the Marino Street station and pledged via the Lions Web Site and the result is an extraordinary show of generosity by the communities of West Cork.
Approximately 75 Christmas hampers will be distributed via SVP, Bantry Red Cross and MABS,
Twentyfour hampers have already been put together by Lions Club volunteers and the remainder will be assembled by SuperValu using the €1,285 Food Appeal fund.
The toys, furniture and clothing etc collected via the Red Cross will be distributed by the SVP and the remainder of the cash will be added to the €25,000 Flood Appeal so far collected by other Lions Clubs.
Many thanks to the members of the I.C.A., St Colums Ladies Group, and Bantry Red Cross who stepped up when our commitment to the annual food appeal stretched our resources.
We look forward to gathering representatives of each of the participating groups to offer our thanks for this huge effort.
In the meantime, the Red Cross will continue to accept toys and gifts for the victims of the floods at their Marino Street reception centre until Saturday 19th December.
