Saint Sister, Morgan MacIntyre and Gemma Doherty, have announced that 50% of all merch sold on their webstore this week will go towards food parcel delivery in Palestine.

The organisers of the food parcel delivery are ACLAÍ, the Irish-Palestinian sports club in Bethlehem’s Aida Refugee Camp. This campaign is a follow on from the Ride for Gaza which was a round-Ireland cycle that happened in May/ June 2024 to raise money for food parcels for Gaza during the ongoing Israeli onslaught, which has been deemed a “genocide” by United Nations agencies and human rights organisations such Amnesty International.

In an Instagram post, the folk duo remarked on the merch sales donation, saying: “We have some merch left from the first two records, and our webstore is live again for the first time in a while. We’ll be donating 50% of profits this week to @aclai_palestine Food Parcels for Gaza. An order will be shipped out on Wednesday December 18th”.

The duo also announced that they will be taking a break from performing and recording together as they focus on their solo careers.

In the same Instagram post, they stated: “ We’ve been exploring different sounds and worlds, and we are each making music of our own at @morganaspartyhits and @gemma_doherty_

“Your support over the last decade (!!) means the absolute world to us. Everyone who came to a show, bought a record, booked a gig and everything in between, thank you for being a part of this weird and wonderful journey so far. There may be another chapter yet, whatever and whenever that might be”.
