This Friday, June 8th is National Sunflower Day. Volunteers and members of the Castleisland branch of the Kerry Hospice Foundation will be collecting in Castleisland and your support would be appreciated.
All proceeds of the collection will remain in Kerry and will go directly towards the on going running costs of the in-patient unit at University Hospital Kerry in Tralee.
Specialist Palliative Care
Hospice Sunflower Days is one of the leading national fundraisers in Ireland for voluntary hospice and specialist palliative home care services.
This year marks 28th anniversary of the introduction of the Hospice Sunflower Days.
Thousands of volunteers will be selling Sunflower Days products and taking donations in villages, towns and cities across the country. As always, every euro that is raised locally, stays locally.
Much Needed Funds
The aim of Hospice Sunflower Days is to raise the much needed funds to provide vital services; person centred, holistic and loving care to patients and their loved ones.
The use of funds that are raised varies and depends on the greatest needs of your local service.
Public support is needed to ensure that specialist palliative care can be provided across the country. You can support the service by buying Sunflower Days items in Castleisland tomorrow, Friday, June 8th or by volunteering on the day.

The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
