Killarney Soroptimist Club and family and friends created Christmas hampers for the sixth year running. This Friday they travelled to Tralee to present them to Catherine Casey the manager of Adapt Kerry, Women’s Refuge and Support Services.

The Killarney Soroptimist Club President Anne Wrenn said “It is wonderful to be in a position to donate these Christmas hampers to Adapt again this year. We are thrilled with the response since we decided to go ahead and amazed at the generosity and the number of hampers and vouchers. We wish to thank all those who donated including Sheila Rice of the Hope Foundation and the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney as well as our members. Hopefully, they will make a difference to the women and children that are supported by ADAPT Kerry.”
Catherine Casey, General Manager of ADAPT Kerry said: We were again very grateful to all the members of the Killarney Soroptimist Club. We recognise that there is a lot of organising and work done by the Club President and all the members in collecting and putting the hampers together, especially Teresa Irwin Project Manager, Sheila Casey and Doreen Brosnan. It is heartwarming to see the support and generosity of the Club. Adapt Kerry and the Killarney Soroptimist have built a very good relationship over the last number of years. There is no doubt that their work raises awareness of our service and has contributed to many more women contacting us for support by phone, through our outreach service and availing of refuge."
