IN THEIR annual bid to spread the festive cheer in Shannon, Gardaí in the town will be delivering Christmas meals.
Gardaí in Shannon have teamed up with the Shannon College of Hotel Management and many local businesses to deliver up to 400 Christmas dinners to senior citizens in Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Bunratty and Cratloe.
Meals are cooked over three days by the Shannon College of Hotel Management and local Gardaí deliver them to grateful senior citizens in the locality.
This initiative began during COVID-19 when the Shannon Garda senior citizens Christmas party had to be postponed due to successive lockdowns. Following the pandemic and the resumption of the parties it was decided to continue with the meal deliveries due to its popularity.
Involvement of many contributors including the Shannon College of Hotel Management, TY students, local national schools and many others allow the Gardaí to complete the initiative.
On completion of the Christmas Dinner Deliveries Shannon Gardaí are hosting the annual Shannon Garda Senior Citizens Christmas Party in the Goal Post Bar in the Wolfe Tones na Sionna GAA Club on Tuesday 17th December at 1230pm. This is always a very festive occasion that all senior citizens in the Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Bunratty and Cratloe Area are all welcome to attend.
Please contact Shannon Garda Station on 061 3650900 or email Shannon.sergeantoffice@garda.ie for further information.
