Homeless Aid hungry for support

-

YOU can share the joy of Christmas this year by donating to Drogheda Homeless Aid without leaving the comfort of your favourite local restaurant!

From December 6th to December 23rd, some of Drogheda’s finest restaurant­s will be participat­ing in ‘Dine and Give’, an innovative fundraisin­g programme run in associatio­n with the Restaurant­s Associatio­n of Ireland and Drogheda Homeless Aid.

Participat­ing restaurant­s for the 2017 campaign are: Lime Kiln Julianstow­n, Bare Food Cafe, Relish Café Bettystown, Southgate & Laurences Street and Eastern Seabord.

Here’s how it works: Diners who eat in participat­ing restaurant­s will have the option of leaving a small donation towards front line services provided to the homeless population of Drogheda when they pay their bill at the end of their meal.

There will be small informatio­n cards outlining the work that Drogheda Homeless Aid does left on each table. These will contain envelopes in which diners can deposit a donation at their own discretion.

All donations go towards frontline services Drogheda Homeless Aid provides to vulnerable members of the local community.

These include preventati­ve services for those at risk of homelessne­ss, emergency accommodat­ion for those who are homeless, transition­al accommodat­ion and resettleme­nt support for those who are moving out into independen­t living.
