After a significant amount of consideration, the Irish American Culture Society of Stamford (IACSOS) has decided to cancel this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade due to COVID-19.   The top priority for the IACSOS is the health, safety and well-being of all parade participants and members of our community.  The IACSOS sponsors the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and this year would have marked the 26^th anniversary of our traditional parade.

In lieu of the parade, the IACSOS will be hosting a “Parade of Giving” to benefit many worthwhile community organizations in Stamford from now until March 17th. There will be a caravan of decorated cars parading to these organizations to drop off the goods collected on St. Patrick’s Day.

Person-to-Person is honored to be included in the “Parade of Giving”.  P2P  has requested donations of diapers and formula.

Please join us in this wonderful way to celebrate St. Patrick by giving back to non-profits that serve our community and truly need our help. If you are able to donate any of the above-mentioned items, please email MJ McDonough at mjmets86@yahoo.com  to arrange a pick-up or drop-off.  Cash donations of any size are also appreciated so that the IACSOS can purchase additional items needed.
