On Sunday the 28th of January, the communities of Kildare opened their hearts and their purses in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Almost €2,500 raised at the Coffee Morning in Sallins went to Medecins Sans Frontieres, UNWRA and a Gofundme campaign.

Concerned members of the community of Sallins and Naas, members of KPSC and the Sunshine Club collaborated to hold the event in Sallins Parish Hall with the aim to raise awareness of the issues facing Gazans everyday as the situation there worsens.
