In the past we have donated to Kerry's Autism Services and have donated walker bags to local nursing homes - Hastings Manor, The Belmont and Westgate Lodge.

Dignity quilts have also been made for the same nursing homes. These quilts remain the property of the nursing home and are for the use of the funeral home when they attend the nursing home to pick up a deceased resident.
