Fair play to all involved here!
The Early Childhood group at Mountmellick FET Centre organised and ran a food drive in the centre, for the Ken Smollen Food Appeal.
This is a Tullamore-based voluntary organisation that provides food packages to over 300 impoverished local families every month.
They also organised a Christmas Jumper Day, with proceeds given to Ken also.
Ken collected the food today and the group were very happy to help some families, even just a little.
Fiona Horan said: “Ken works with a wonderful group of volunteers, helping out families in the midlands, and surrounding areas that are living with food poverty.
“He told us today that he receives many donations at Christmas time, which is fabulous-but these families are struggling all year round.
“He can be contacted through his Facebook page and he is very careful to ensure complete discretion and confidentiality for the families involved.”
