In the spirit of Christmas, a recently held food appeal has yielded fantastic results, with the generous support of the school’s students. The appeal, which was organised by Ms Ni Chroínín, received huge amounts of tinned foods and other goods which are required over the festive period. All these food stuffs will be kindly donated to the local food kitchen – St. Claire’s Hospitality – through the school BOM chairperson Father Dunphy. Food poverty has sadly become an acute and prominent issue in Ireland, with almost 1/10 people claiming to suffer from a lack of food. Food drives like this are crucial for gathering much needed supplies for St. Clares, as well as to raise awareness about this sensitive issue. Knockbeg College would like to thank all the students for their generosity.
