FirstLight Counter Top Boxes
 
FirstLight now have a stock of CounterTop boxes that we need help placing in shops and businesses nationally.
Each box has the potential of raising €200 per annum for FirstLight.
Please consider becoming a FirstLight Counter Top Box owner - this involves placing and emptying the box twice a year!
To order your boxes contact Eileen on 018732711 or fundraising@firstlight.ie
Each box comes with a permission and authentication letter from FirstLight for the business taking the box.
 
Church Gate Collections
 
Please consider asking your local Priest, Rector or religious leader for permission to hold a gate collection.
If you require a gGarda permit - please contact us in the office or at fundraising@firstlight.ie
Church gate collections can raise on average €250 per sermon
