<h3>Members of Laune Rangers took on the role of Santa Claus at the weekend as they delivered 52 care packs to a local nursing home.</h3>
There was a present for each resident in St Joseph&rsquo;s Nursing Home and a few to spare for respite rooms that will be in use over the Christmas period.
Members from across the club proceeded to the day room where the residents were serenaded by the members with Christmas carols.
&#8220;It was fantastic to see this happening post-COVID and hopefully it will become a must in the Laune Rangers GAA calendar,&#8221; Katrina Stack said.
The remaining 43 boxes are earmarked for the day care centre and a few have also been provided to local people on the Meals on Wheels route.
20 boxes were also delivered to Ard Alainn (HSE run centre in conjunction with Killorglin Mental Health Association) in advance of their Christmas Dinner last Friday. This year saw the organisers exceed last years number of care packs (68) that were collected, this year 121 boxes at last count.
&#8220;This would not be feasible without the help of James the Barber and Selina in Leaf and Larder who provided a drop off point for those that were not able to make the collection night at the club house, Paul Russell for transporting, Adrian Hassett Auctioneers and Slogadh Signs. The ladies that helped out on the night at the clubhouse and all the people who made a care pack and included their children. This will help our children learn about their community and people residing in it.&#8221;
