About Dublin Simon Community
Dublin Simon Community works to prevent and address homelessness in Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Louth, Cavan and Monaghan. We provide services at all stages of homelessness and enable people to move to a place they can call home.
What's Involved
To manage the volume of donations that we receive, we are looking for volunteers to help sort through donations and get them ready for wear or sale as soon as possible.
Generous individuals donate unwanted items that go to our shops and also to
our rough sleeper team. Our warehouse is located in Chapelizod. It is here that
the donations of clothing and items for Dublin Simon are stored before being
distributed.
By supporting Sorting Simon’s Stock, you are ensuring donated items,
such as clothes, toiletries, gifts, and toys, are sorted more efficiently and reach our
shops and the people who need them most, faster!
We have limited resources,
therefore your support to Dublin Simon ensures we get the true value from the
items given by our generous donors.
You will be working along with our dedicated team of shop staff and volunteers.
