Offaly Hospice Church Gate collection this weekend

Offaly Hospice Foundation will hold their annual Church Gate Collection this weekend, Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14 at all churches throughout Offaly - with the notable exception of the Church of the Assumption Tullamore, where it will take place on Saturday and Sunday, August 10 and 11 next.

Offaly Hospice would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to everyone for the wonderful support they receive each year. They are also very grateful to all the volunteers who help organise and co-ordinate the collection in each parish. The Church Gate Collection has become an essential part of their annual fundraising efforts for the local Hospice Foundation, with all the money raised directly supporting the work of the fantastic Palliative Home Care Service in Offaly.

The continued support of the public for this vital fundraiser is greatly appreciated. For further information please contact Offaly Hospice Foundation on 057 9328634 or email: offalyhospice@gmail.com www.offalyhospice.ie
