Joe Smith (Lions Club Coordinator) and twin sisters Millie & Sophie Bolger urge customers to double their efforts and ‘give big’ at the launch of this year’s Christmas Food Appeal in association with the Lions Club and Tesco Ireland.

TRALEE LIONS CLUB and Tesco Ireland are asking shoppers to make a big difference to someone’s Christmas by donating a food item during a two-day Christmas Food Appeal, which will take place on Friday November 27 and Saturday, November 28 at Tesco in  Manor West.

Over 1,465 meals were donated by Kerry shoppers in 2014, and this year the appeal is hoping to build on this success and support as many families as possible by providing hampers of non-perishable food items in the run-up to Christmas.

During the two day appeal, 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 tea bags, biscuits, breakfast cereals and tinned goods, with shoppers urged to add an item to their shopping basket and pop it in to the Lions Club trolley at the front of the store on their way out.

“The generosity we saw last year was wonderful, especially considering the pressure people are under at this time of year” said Lions Food Appeal Co-ordinator, Joe Smith.

“Having seen the difference these food hampers can make to families, we are determined to collect even more this year so that we can reach as many people as possible and give them a little help this Christmas”

Shoppers can donate one or more of the following items in their local Tesco store

· Tea bags & Instant coffee
· Biscuits
· Sugar
· Butter
· Breakfast Cereals
· Tinned goods (vegetables, fruit, fish, meat)
· Pasta & Paste Sauces
· Rice & Rice Pudding
· Jam
· Soft drinks
· Sweet Treats
· Selection Boxes
· Christmas Cake

All food collected during the appeal in Tesco stores will be sorted by Lions Club volunteers and used to create food hampers for people in the local community who are struggling to provide for themselves or their families.

To support the Christmas Food Appeal and give a little help to families in need, please visit your local Tesco store on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 of November between 11am  – 6pm and make a food donation.
