Christmas Dinner Deliveries by Shannon Gardaí: Spreading Festive Cheer in Shannon
In the spirit of the holiday season, the Gardaí in Shannon are gearing up to spread joy and warmth by delivering Christmas meals to senior citizens in the town and neighboring areas. Teaming up with the Shannon College of Hotel Management and local businesses, the Gardaí are on a mission to bring the magic of Christmas to those who may need it the most.
The Story So Far
As the festive season approaches, the Gardaí in Shannon have embarked on a heartwarming initiative to deliver up to 400 Christmas dinners to senior citizens in Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Bunratty, and Cratloe. These delicious meals are lovingly prepared over three days by the talented chefs at the Shannon College of Hotel Management and then personally delivered by local Gardaí to the grateful recipients in the community.
This initiative first began during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic when the traditional Shannon Garda senior citizens Christmas party had to be postponed due to lockdown restrictions. However, the meal deliveries proved to be so popular and meaningful that they have continued even after the pandemic, bringing joy and connection to the senior citizens in the area.
A Touch of Magic in Every Meal
The involvement of various contributors, including the Shannon College of Hotel Management, TY students, local national schools, and many others, has made this initiative a true community effort. Through their combined efforts, the Gardaí are able to brighten the holiday season for those who may otherwise feel isolated or forgotten.
On the culmination of the Christmas Dinner Deliveries, the Shannon Gardaí are hosting the annual Shannon Garda Senior Citizens Christmas Party at the Goal Post Bar in the Wolfe Tones na Sionna GAA Club. This festive occasion, scheduled for Tuesday, 17th December at 12:30 pm, promises to be a celebration of community, togetherness, and the spirit of giving. All senior citizens in the Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Bunratty, and Cratloe areas are warmly invited to attend and share in the joy of the season.
