DCCC manager Avril
McMonagle said the appeal was "a practical way" of
making a contribution to Donegal children and
families in need of a little extra support at
Christmas.
"We have enlisted the help of a number of family
support agencies to act as distributors of donations
to the Presents for Percy Appeal. Not only will this
make a valuable contribution to the work of local
agencies working with children and families, it will
ensure that all donations are targeted to those most
in need of support," she said.
Agencies that will distribute donations on behalf of
the DCCC Presents for Percy Appeal will include
Parentstop, Carndonagh and Letterkenny; Donegal
Women’s Domestic Violence Service; St Vincent de
Paul and a range of Family Resource Centres across
the county.
People can either purchase presents or alternatively
you can donate money which will be used to provide
vouchers to parents to purchase toys at local
Donegal businesses.
Toys purchased in Smyths, Letterkenny can be left in
the store for collection by the Presents for Percy
team or alternatively toy and money donations can be
left at the Donegal County Childcare Office,
Lettereknny. Closing date for all toy and money
donation is Friday 6th December 2013.
