The Archbishop of Dublin appealed to people to help ensure the social support agency can maintain all services in the coming months.
Archbishop Dermot Farrell said Crosscare’s services are needed “now more than ever”, as the diocese held its annual collection for the agency last weekend.
“As families face greater uncertainty and insecurity intensified by the pandemic, people who are homeless and in need continue to rely on Crosscare for shelter, food, help and support,” he said.
“All who work in Crosscare take their work and responsibilities very seriously and I urge you to support them once again in this appeal.”
When the Covid crisis began at the start of last year, Crosscare services were stretched to capacity, a September 14 statement said.
Throughout last year, 750 people stayed in Crosscare Homeless Services, while 3,000 people who were homeless or at risk of losing their home were helped by their Information and Advocacy teams.
