Laois Charities benefit from Aldi donations

Two Laois based charities each receive €500 donation from Aldi’s Laois store staff

Over €77,500 donated to local charities through Aldi’s Community Grants Programme

A total of two Laois-based charities have become the latest beneficiaries of Aldi’s Community Grants programme, with each charity receiving a €500 grant from the Aldi store teams in County Laois.

€500 grants were presented to Portarlington Men’s Shed and Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA).

Aldi’s Community Grants programme helps fund local charities and organisations that contribute vital work and services in their local communities. Each local charity supported is chosen by Aldi employees, enabling them to help the local good causes they are passionate about.

Commenting, John Curtin, Group Buying Director, Aldi Ireland said:

“We are very proud to have been able to contribute to supporting local charities across the country through the Aldi Community Grants programme and we’re pleased to see the impact of our donation in the local communities for County Laois.
