Dublin GAA Clubs Reaching Out To Local Communities

Crest story.png
Fri, 8 May 2020

So many GAA clubs throughout Dublin - and indeed throughout the country - have stepped up during this Covid-19 pandemic to help their local communities.

The GAA have come together with SuperValu & Centra to launch a new initiative to support the elderly in our communities during the current restrictions.

While many of our clubs across Dublin have also put measures in place to assist their communities over the coming weeks.

Check some of them out below (If your club is doing something similar but it's not included, let us know)

BALLINTEER ST JOHNS

BSJ volunteers are available to help with grocery shops, pharmacy runs & deliveries. For assistance:
Call DLR Community Response forum on 01 271 3199

Go raibh maith agat Gerry Watchorn, Patrick Watchorn & Enda Nolan. @dlrcc @SuperValuIRL @CentraIRL pic.twitter.com/iImeuychMa
