Their upcoming fundraising event is entitled “Coins for COPE Galway". They are planning to run the event for two weeks commencing on Monday May 11th and finishing on Sunday May 24th.
They will be distributing envelopes in Galway city and county with the Galway Independent newspaper on May 14th . We are asking people to put their coins in the envelopes and return them to us. You can do directly or by dropping them into the church where we will forward them.
