Galway RNLI’s volunteers will dish up some heart-warming soup to shoppers in the City of the Tribes on Saturday 11 February, as part of the ‘Sample Our Soup’ fundraiser which returns, following a two-year break due to the pandemic.
Volunteers from Galway RNLI will be located outside Taaffes Bar on Shop Street from 11am on Saturday 11 February to serve the soup to Galway shoppers. The heart-warming soup, prepared by Mark Hopkins, Head Chef at The Seafood Bar at Kirwans Lane.
The annual fundraiser is now one of the station’s favourite events, enabling team members to highlight their work and say thanks to those whom they meet for the ongoing support.
Annette Cullen, Galway RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer said: “Without the volunteers in our fundraising team and our lifeboat crew who selflessly give of their own time, our lifeboat couldn’t function and continue to be rescue ready.
“Our charity is reliant on public generosity in supporting this work through fundraisers such as ‘Sample Our Soup’. Thanks to our sponsors Kirwans Lane, Raftery’s Centra Claregalway and Cater Rent Ballybrit Industrial Estate for their continued support of this event.”
