Clondalkin Helping Homeless issues appeal for food donations for foodbank

Clondalkin Helping Homeless and Those in Need has issued an appeal for food donations from the local community.

Organiser and Independent councillor Francis Timmons says the charity’s current need is food for the weekly foodbank.

“We are asking you to look through your kitchen presses,” he says.

“Maybe there is food reaching its use-by date? Maybe food you won’t eat? Maybe you might be able add a few items to your weekly shop?

“We accept all unopened, non-perishable foods, and in-date food can be dropped into the Bawnogue Community centre or Knockmitten Community centre.

“As Tesco says, every little bit helps.”

Clondalkin Helping Homeless run three services a week: the weekly foodbank, food cloud delivered to those in need, and tents and sleeping bags delivered to people sleeping rough.

The charity can be contacted at (087) 919 1490.
