Homeless charity - people giving out food in Dublin

CtrlSource · 15-10-2010 5:09pm #1

Does anyone know the name of the group going around the streets of Dublin, giving food and hot drinks to people who are homeless and sleeping rough?

I've seen them a number of times recently. They seem to be mainly young volunteers (20 - 25).

The carry around cooler chests with sandwiches and flasks of tea...

A lot of groups do soup runs. I know one of the inner-city schools do it, think it's Belvedere, and many other groups like VDP branches, the Simon community etc also do them.

Done them before, certainly seems to bring a bit of happiness to the homeless.

They could be SVP societies from Universities and Colleges in and around Dublin. I know UCD, Trinity, St Pats and NUIM each do it, and I think it runs 6 days a week.
