Killarney Lions Club’s Christmas Food Appeal, which provides food hampers and vouchers to families in need during the festive season, has seen huge support in recent weeks in advance of its annual street collection this Friday (December 19).

The transition year students at Killarney Community College raised money through a fantastic bake sale in the school, while the students of St Brendan’s College had great success by fundraising through a ‘non uniform’ day and carol singing in Killarney town.

Next up was the first ever Santa Cycle fundraiser on Saturday December 6, which was supported by Killarney Cycling Club and Christmas in Killarney. The event was a great success, with over €700 raised and more than 40 people taking part in the Cycle which culminated in a guest appearance at the head of the Christmas in Killarney parade.

Lions Club volunteers will be out in force this Friday around Killarney town to raise the remaining funds needed for the Food Appeal. Over 100 families were supported through the initiative in 2024, and the Club hopes to provide similar support this year

A charity bake sale hosted by Killarney for Palestine was deemed a major success, with the event receiving an extra boost from the appearance of Moglaí Bap of the Belfast rap group Kneecap.

Moglaí Bap, who was in town for Kneecap’s two sold-out concerts at the Gleneagle Arena last Friday and Saturday, led a promotional walk that concluded at the bake sale.
The coffee morning and bake sale took place in the lounge and interior kitchen of the Blacksheep Hostel on New Street on Saturday. It was extended by an hour, running until 2:30 pm, to accommodate the arrival of the walk, which reached the hostel at approximately 1:50 pm. Kneecap is known to organise similar community runs or walks in every town and city where they perform.
Susan Larkin and Lisa O’Sullivan of Killarney for Palestine confirmed the success of the fundraiser. They noted that the appearance of Moglaí Bap “added an extra element of excitement to what was already a wonderful event”.
