Homeless collection

A member of our parish was involved with the homeless in Dublin over Christmas and saw, to their horror, just how they live. They have approached Kiltale Hurling Club and asked if we would place in the newsletter this week that the following is happening – and if you can provide, please do.

  • Collection Day: Saturday 14th January from 10am-12noon at the Clubhouse 
  • We can accept unwanted old clothes (hats, jumpers, trousers, shoes, scarfs, gloves), blankets and duvets, sleeping bags – Food (hot pots or noddle pots – no cooking available). 
  • All items collected are then brought to those on the streets.  Your support would be appreciated for this worthy cause.

Any queries contact Stephen McCormack: 086 8303097.
