Margaret Crean and Maureen O Sullivan like to thank everyone for the generous supply of food stuffs and clothing donated to the above Christmas appeal 2012. This year we had plenty of support, young and not so young, from north Cork to help sort out the collected items. Plus a group of volunteers, mainly students and some parents from Bishoptown Secondary school . Under the guidance of Maureen O Sullivan, everyone distributed the donated food/Items between approx 20 Christmas parcels for the homeless, 6 hampers for needy families and what was left over was taken to Edel house a shelter that is available for homeless women and children in Cork .
It was wonderful to see so many young people giving up their time at Christmas.
Regular volunteers delivered the food parcels to the homeless, later that night
Mass was celebrated by Fr. Billy, SMA to finish the night for all whom were so good to donate items and time to this cause and the people in need were prayed for.
Thank to Boberbue Educare andO’Regan’s Mills for playing a important role in collecting these items. And to all that donated .
You all made it a little better for the needy this Christmas
Edel House has offered a sincere thank you for remembering them again this year.
Happy New year,
Margaret
