Bring your 2GoCups for a good cause!

As the Christmas season approaches, there is no better time to give back to our community, and in Killarney, we have a special opportunity to do just that. The Killarney Coffee Cup Project is partnering with Christmas in Killarney to host a heartfelt charity drive, asking locals and visitors alike to bring any unused 2GoCups they may have accumulated at home, in their cars, or at the office. This is your chance to contribute in a simple yet impactful way – and make this Christmas even more meaningful for those in need.

How it works is simple:

Gather any 2GoCups you’ve collected over time. For every cup collected, the value of that cup will be donated to the charity ALONE.
ALONE, a charity dedicated to supporting older people to age at home throughout Killarney and Kerry, will benefit from your donation.
Frank Dillon, Head of Fundraising for ALONE said: “We would like to sincerely thank the great people in Killarney for their clever initiative and generosity in supporting ALONE. Christmas is such an important time for all of us in ALONE with so many people living on their own throughout the area our services will run all over the Christmas season. You can contact ALONE for support of advice on 0818 222 024.”
You can drop off your 2GoCups to the Christmas Markets and at Santa’s Grotto at Deenagh Lodge and know that your gesture will help fund important programs that provide companionship and assistance to those in need, particularly the elderly who may be facing a lonely Christmas season.

Why is this important?

This initiative not only gives us a chance to declutter and get those cups we’ve accumulated back into circulation but also provides a unique way to support an incredible cause during the Christmas season. It’s a reminder that sometimes, small actions can have a big impact – and that together, we can make a real difference in the lives of others.
So, this festive season, let's clear out those accumulated 2GoCups and spread some Christmas cheer! Your donation, no matter how small, will help ensure that Christmas in Killarney is a time of joy for everyone, including those who need our support the most.

Drop off locations:

Christmas in Killarney’s Christmas Market Saturdays & Sundays from 7th December.
Santa’s Grotto at Deenagh Lodge during opening hours of Thursdays to Sundays December 5.
