Do your bit this Christmas

While many of us are busy frantically buying Christmas presents and buying all the trimmings for our festive dinner, it's important to remember that this is a time to give to those who might not be looking forward to the same kind of Christmas.

Inner City Helping Homeless - a Dublin volunteer organisation - is appealing for Irish people to put together Christmas shoe-boxes for the homeless in Dublin city centre.

The items included won't break the bank and will certainly put a smile on the Dublin homeless community's face this Christmas.

We got a massive reaction when we reported on Warren Flynn - the big hearted barber restoring dignity to countless homeless people and people asked how they could help - well now you can.

It's time to do your bit. So here's exactly what you need to do.
What do I put in the shoebox?

You can include anything you see fit, but pack your shoeboxes with items like:

Socks

Hat

Gloves

Scarf

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Sweets

Chocolate

Shampoo

Shower Gel

Cereal bars

Baby wipes

Roll on deodorants

Where do I drop the shoebox?

You can bring your packed boxes into the Inner City Helping Homelessness offices at 37 Killarney Street, Dublin 1 after 7pm next Monday to Friday.
