SOUP FOR SIMON

As we approach our Harvest Thanksgiving Services this coming Sunday and on Sunday 9th October, we are seeking your assistance to help the homeless on the streets of our city.

As you will know, the Dublin Simon Community provides nourishing soup on designated nights of the week to those who sleep 'rough' in the city.

We are asking you, your family and friends to bring gifts of vegetables to the churches this Harvest Thanksgiving time.  You can bring your vegetables to the churches in advance, where they could be used as part of the decoration of the churches or you can bring them to the Harvest Thanksgiving Services over the next couple of weeks.

We will then make soup with these vegetables in the Parish Centre kitchen and deliver it to Simon on up to three evenings for delivery to the homeless.

The following vegetables would be welcome - onions, carrots, parsnips, leeks, celery, sweet potatoes, red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes (fresh or tinned), vine cherry tomatoes.

The school children have been asked to bring vegetables only to the Family Harvest Gift Service – but donations from both young and old would be most welcome!
