Help to Homeless Shelters/Charities in Kildare

br2015

Hello

I am just wondering if anyone knows of any homeless shelters in Kildare that would take some donations of food warm clothes etc in the run up to Christmas? I live in Naas and I can drive anywhere within the region, very upset to hear of the story of Jonathan Corrie so I would like to do something to offer a bit of help to anyone who is affected by homelessness this Christmas.

Many thanks

I'm not sure about other clothes but there is a drop off point in Newbridge for coats

Also you could try contacting The Simon Community

Hi,

Just a follow up there are also foodbank schemes in both Naas and Newbridge.

I don't know the drop off points in Naas but in there is a collection point outside of Dunnes in Newbridge.

This is to help families in need, not necessarily homeless people but still people that no doubt need bit of assistance
