Help Light Up Donegal Cliffs

Posted on Nov 2nd, 2026

DONATE. We need to be sure the supply costs are covered. For online donations, please use the link: www.donegalcliffs.org/donate or if you prefer, you can write a check made out to DCHA, and mail or drop it off to: (Irmeen Siddiqui, 4562 Dunleary drive). All funds donated above the supply costs this year will again be donated to a local charity. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

The only charity that has been suggested so far is Canine Collective (dog rescue). Please feel free to share your choice of charity and we can vote in to pick one.

VOLUNTEER. This is an easy volunteer opportunity - close to home, no meetings, and each job takes no more than a couple hours. Please use the SignUpGenius link

The different tasks involved where you can help with:

Pre-Assembly - This is an easy family activity that consists of folding bags and preparing the candles and has made assembly run much quicker.

Assembly Sites - Typically assembled in your garage. The more volunteers we have the fewer each site will have to assemble. Once we finalize the assembly sites, then we will make arrangements to drop off the supplies (bags, candles and sand).

Distribution - Dec 24 from 1:00 PM-3:00 PM. This will proceed much like it did last year and you would be assigned to an assembly location(s) for pickup and distribution. You will have materials that show you how/where to distribute the filled bags.

Candle Lighting - Dec 24 from 5:45-6:00 PM. As in the past, we ask that people light their own candles at 5:30 (and their neighbors' if they are not home or are unable to light them). We need several volunteers to drive around and light any that were missed.

Bag Pick Up - Dec 25 from 3:00 PM-4:00 PM As in the past, we ask that people pick up and dispose of the luminaries in front of their homes (and their neighbors' if they are not home or are unable to dispose of them). We will need a few volunteers to pick up any remaining bags.

If you have any questions, please email me separately (irmeenqamar@gmail.com) and I will be happy to respond.

With your generosity, Donegal Cliffs can again provide a beautiful display and help someone in need during this holiday season!
