Five local charities and community groups have become the latest beneficiaries of ALDI’s Community Grants programme, with each organisation receiving gift cards from the ALDI store teams in County Louth.
Receiving €500 ALDI gift cards are Woman’s Aid Dundalk, Ardee & District Cancer Support, Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland.
For 2024, to coincide with ALDI Ireland’s 25th anniversary, the retailer has also selected 26 charities and community groups, one per county, to receive an additional support of €2,000 worth of ALDI gift cards, bringing the total donation to those chosen organisations to €2,500 worth of ALDI gift cards. In County Louth, Dogs Trust Ireland has been chosen to receive this award.
ALDI’s Community Grants programme helps fund local charities and community organisations that contribute vital work and services in their local communities. Each local organisation supported is chosen by ALDI employees, enabling them to help the local good causes they are passionate about.
Commenting, Rachel Nugent, National Sustainability Manager, ALDI Ireland said: “We are delighted to continue to support local charities and community groups across the country through the ALDI Community Grants programme and to see the impact of our donation in the local communities of County Louth.
“The Community Grants programme is one example of how ALDI is committed to investing and partnering with local communities and charities across Ireland and we look forward to continuing this engagement for years to come.
“Additionally, 2024 is a special year for ALDI as we mark 25 years of operating in Ireland. To mark that milestone moment, we expanded our Community Grants programme this year. On top of our €500 donations to all chosen charities and community organisations, 26 selected organisations received an additional €2,000 worth of ALDI gift cards, meaning in total we are supporting worthy causes to the amount of €137,500 worth of donations this year.”
