KILLARNEY Lions Club has joined forces once again with Tesco to help highlight this year’s Christmas Food Appeal.

The club members are asking shoppers to make a big difference to someone’s life during the festive season by donating a food item during a two-day appeal which will take place on Friday, November 25, and Saturday, November 26, in Tesco, Deer Park, Killarney.

During the two-day project a shopping list with suggested non-perishable food items will be available to all customers as they enter their local Tesco store. “Top of the list are teabags, breakfast cereals and tinned goods, with shoppers urged to add an item to their shopping basket and drop it into the Lions Club trolley in the store on their way out,” said Con Stack, Killarney Lions Club president. “The Killarney Lions add these goods to foods that they purchase, pack and distribute over Christmas to Killarney’s most needy.”

Killarney Lions Club liaises with local public health nurses and checks the list carefully to ensure that those that need help the most receive it. “We are giving them essentials to ease the burden that Christmas can bring to some families,” said Con.
