PEOPLE all over the Mid West are being asked to host a socially distanced or virtual coffee morning and raise funds for Milford Hospice on Thursday, September 24.
This year’s event, which is sponsored by Bewley’s, marks the 28th year of the fundraising initiative.
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, coffee morning hosts are encouraged to host socially distanced or virtual coffee mornings to ensure the safety of attendees and that government guidelines are adhered to. It is hoped that this year’s events, whether held in small groups in homes or virtually with colleagues and friends, will raise much needed funds for hospices across Ireland, to meet growing demands for the services.
Milford Care Centre chief executive Pat Quinlan said that the money raised through Hospice Coffee Morning is crucial in ensuring that they continue to meet each individual patient’s needs and to support their families and loved ones throughout the region.
“This year has been a challenge for all of us and our fundraising efforts continue to be severely affected by Covid-19. As with all frontline organisations, the pandemic poses a massive challenge to our services whose focus is to care for vulnerable patients and their families across counties Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary,” he said.
