One local hotel who had to close its doors due to the Level 3 restrictions donated up to half a dozen crates of fresh food to a Kerry charity.
Adapt Kerry Women’s Refuge and Support Services received a very generous donation of food, which included fruit, vegetables and meat, from The Lake Hotel in Killarney.
And it's the second time since the beginning of the pandemic that staff at the hotel have thought of them as they donated during the lockdown.
"It's a worthwhile charity," Executive Chef Noel Enright said.
"It's the second time we've donated, we also did it at the start of the lockdown. It's nice to do something to help."
Adapt General Manager Catherine Casey told the Killarney Advertiser this week that they are very grateful them.
"We are very grateful to all the team at the hotel," she said. "We recognise that this is a difficult time for the hospitality sector and even though faced with another temporary closing they were able to reach out and support the women and children that use our service. We have also received food donations from Tralee Golf Club and from individuals, and I want to thank everyone who has offered support."
Adapt Kerry relies heavily on donations and their charity shop accepts clothes, shoes, bric-a-brac and books, she added.
"We are also grateful to everyone who donates and purchases from the shop. COVID-19 continues to challenge all businesses and charities. We know it is also putting pressure on the women and children we support, both in refuge and through our outreach services. We know that restrictions can make this time more difficult for families living with coercive control and abuse."
Adapt would encourage women to seek support by ringing them on 066 7129100.
"We can give support over the phone 24 hours a day."

N71 Moll’s Gap road remains closed following Killarney National Park fire
The N71 Moll’s Gap road remains closed this Wednesday lunchtime following a significant forestry fire at Five Mile Bridge on Tuesday evening.
Kerry County Fire Services personnel from Killarney, Kenmare, and Killorglin, alongside the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) fire team, worked on-site to tackle the blaze. Two helicopters were deployed to extract water from the lake to quench the flames.
The fire was brought under control at 10:30pm on Tuesday evening. However, several areas are still smouldering today and are currently being assessed by emergency crews.
The road is closed as a safety precaution while preventative measures continue, and local diversions are in place. Helicopters remain active at the scene today, taking water from the lake to dampen down areas on the opposite side of the road.
