Once again their annual 'Operation Hamper' will swing into action over the coming days, with the committee behind the initiative asking people to donate money or foodstuffs to help make up hampers for families and individuals. Operation Hamper was established to give people such as these a helping hand and spread a little cheer into deserving households that might otherwise be facing into a bleak festive season," said Olga. The initiative has also been well supported by the wider community, with people making donations of all sizes. Monetary donations can be made to the 'Mallow Hamper' account at the Permanent TSB branch in Mallow (Iban: ie 92IPBS99071314091774) and other non-perishable items for the hampers can be dropped off for collection at Scoil Gobnatain. "Everyone involved with Operation Hamper would like to thank those who have supported the initiative in the past and urge people to get behind the campaign once again this year," said Olga.
