Help Us Feed Dublin’s Homeless
Did you know that the number of people in homeless accommodation in the State has reached another record high and is now at almost 17,000 people 4000 been children
Many nights, it’s estimated that over a quarter of those people – women, men, women and children – go to bed hungry?
We have been bringing practical support and hope to our homeless friends for the last 20yrs
“Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
Feeding Dublin’s Homeless
Mustard Seed team planning
The mustard seed outreach ministries is a non denominational independant christian charity. We have 2 teams a walking team that walk our city streets helping our homeless friends on Monday nights. On Staturday , Sunday, thursdays and some additional nights the team provides warm food, clothing and comfort to our homeless friends from our van parked on cathal brugha street '@7pm.It can be so sad to see our friends standing in a line in all kinds of weather waiting for our van to arrive.
Some of our volunteers come from a background of homelessness, addicion and mental health issues. We have experienced freedom, peace and purpose through a personal relationship with Jesus.
Every night, before we go out, we pray. As Dougie always says, ‘there’s no such thing as a hopeless case’.

HOMELESSNESS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE
WITH THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS MANY PEOPLE ARE LIVING FROM WEEK TO WEEK AND SAD TO SAY WE ARE GETTING YOUNG FAMILIES WHO COME TO THE VAN LOOKING FOR SUPPORT.WE HAVE ALSO SEEN AN INCREASE IN OLD AGE PENSIONERS STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

Hunger undermines the confidence of those already suffering. Going hungry results in a lack of energy, initiative and concentration. It causes fatigue, irritability, depression and apathy.
Mustard Seed project volunteers work to counter these horrible results with hot food and a comforting ear.
They Need Help and So Do We
We’re a small organisation. We’re all volunteers. The number of people going hungry is growing which means we need your help.

“While woman weep as they do now,we'll fight.While little children go hungry as they do now we’ll fight.While men go to prison,in and out in and out as they do now we’ll fight.While there is an addict left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,while there remains one dark soul without the light of Jesus,we’ll fight to the very end”
William booth founder of the salvation army
