AN appeal has been issued for people to consider donating items like hand sanitiser and disposable gloves to support community organisers trying to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic in the county.
Kerry TD Norma Foley has issued a call out to schools, libraries, sports clubs, gyms, tourist facilities and other buildings who have supplies and might now be in a position to donate them to do so.
“As a county we are indebted to a whole variety of voluntary organisations and individuals doing sterling work in our communities reaching out to those who are vulnerable and in need,” Deputy Foley said.
“To their credit, many have already donated their available stock but, perhaps, there are others who could do likewise. Community organisations are doing invaluable work and to help them continue to do so, essential stocks would be greatly appreciated,” she added.
Individuals, groups and organisations with available stock are asked to contact Kerry Red Cross on 087-9276504. Arrangements can also be put in place to pick up supplies throughout the county if necessary.
Otherwise, supplies may be dropped to Red Cross HQ at Unit 4, Killerisk, Business Park, Tralee between 10am and 12 noon or from 6pm to 8pm from this Tuesday to Thursday.
