Two Kilkenny EUROSPAR Supermarkets are supporting the St Vincent de Paul (SVP) Empty Basket Easter Appeal this year, which is aimed at ensuring those most vulnerable in the community don’t go without this Easter season, with all in-store donations being distributed within local communities. With nearly one third of all calls received each year by SVP a request for food, EUROSPAR Retailers are facilitating shoppers donating non-perishable items at their local EUROSPAR Supermarket for the benefit of their local St Vincent de Paul Conference. While shopping in Willie Forde’s EUROSPAR Castlecomer and John McCarthy’s EUROSPAR Kilkenny, shoppers are asked to place any non-perishable items in the trolley or receptacle designated for the ‘Empty Basket Appeal’. The vouchers will then be given to the local St Vincent de Paul Conference. Commenting Malachy Hanberry, EUROSPAR Managing Director said: “These EUROSPAR Retailers have a long tradition of supporting charities and those most vulnerable in our society.
