Did you know ...? Eurospar has announced that it will once again support the St Vincent de Paul (SVP) ‘Empty Plate Appeal’ this year, which will help reduce the chances of a child going hungry this festive season. Throughout the campaign, all in-store donations will be distributed within their local communities, so those most in need this Christmas don’t do without. Malachy Hanberry, managing director, Eurospar, commented, “Eurospar retailers have a long tradition of supporting charities and those most vulnerable in our society. Christmas is a time for giving and for generosity, and their facilitating of this fundraising initiative – as well as the additional donations from own-brand sales in stores – for the St Vincent de Paul is another example of their commitment to the communities they serve.”
