Christmas appeal made by Offaly domestic violence support services

Offaly Domestic Violence Support Services has launched its Christmas appeal to help make the festive period a little easier for families impacted by domestic abuse.

The organisation said that if people can donate a single item or put together a hamper with friends or colleagues, their kindness can help take some pressure off a local family this Christmas.

It is reaching out for the following items: Christmas treats, gifts or vouchers for children and teens, and/or non-perishable food such as tins, pasta, rice and cereal.

To arrange a drop-off, people can call 057 9351796 or email info@odvss.ie
