December 3rd 2017 will see Lough Eske Castle launch its annual Christmas food appeal and Christmas light switch-on event.
The Castle invites everyone to help support the local St Vincent de Paul by bringing non-perishable food, such as tinned soups, pasta and sauces, to feed local Donegal families in need during the festive period.
Sunday the 3rd December not only marks the launch of Lough Eske Castle’s charity drive, but will also see the annual light switch-on ceremony with performances by Tirconaill Youth Choir and a Children’s Disco.
The winner of the Castle’s annual story writing competition this year is Ms. Neave Jerin from Scoil Chatríona in Ballyshannon who will be crowned The Princess of the Castle – The Princess will be treated to a Signature Christmas Tea Party with her classmates on the day.
Don’t forget the camera for some fantastic photo opportunities – visitors might even catch one of Santa Claus himself!
Seán Carney, Managing Director of Lough Eske Castle praised SVP: “The charity involved provides invaluable support for families across Donegal and we are pleased to be supporting this great work once again.
“We’ve had fantastic success with previous appeals and would like to invite the Donegal community to once again join us in making Christmas special for everyone this year.
“This is our tenth year of trading and with that comes the responsibility to be valuable and contributing members of the community. Since the Christmas Appeal was launched over €60,000 has been raised through the kindness and generosity of our employees, guests and the local community.”
The Castle is working alongside Kavanagh’s Supervalu in Donegal and both locations will be collecting food items from Sunday 3rd December until 24th December for this deserving cause.
