A fashion show in Stradbally raised €3,000 (about $3,500) — half for meals on wheels, half for a special school

In Stradbally, County Laois, Ireland, organiser Annette Jones and her team turned a charity fashion show into €3,000 (about $3,500) for two pillars of local life: €1,500 for Stradbally Meals on Wheels, which keeps hot dinners arriving at older neighbours' doors, and €1,500 for Kolbe Special School. Local businesses backed it, neighbours modelled and applauded, and the money stayed exactly where the goodwill came from. Small town, small stage, precisely targeted kindness.
