ORGANISERS of a charity collection campaign being run around Kerry for the refugees in Greece are warning the public about fake collectors calling to doors on their behalf (see previous story here)
The group behind the ‘Help For Humans-Kerry Ireland’ collection campaign have contacted us here at TraleeToday.ie to reiterate that they do not have any door to door collectors and that the public should should hand over anything to anyone unless they know who they are.
They are looking for tents, sleeping bags, tarpaulins, refuse sacks, men’s clothes, women’s clothes, walking shoes, practical runner, toiletries and warm coats.
Anyone wishing to donate can do so at one of the many collection points located all around the county, a list of which can be found HERE.
Money is still very much a requirement for the organisers and the campaign as well, with the cost of driving to the refugee camps in Greece looking to cost around €5000. Click HERE for the fundraising page.
Organisers have stated that if anyone is looking to set up their own collection point or indeed host a fundraising activity (ie. bake sale, coffee morning, concert, quiz night) of their own for the group, then get in touch through the ‘Help For Humans-Kerry Ireland’ Facebook page HERE.
