THERE are some simple practical ways of helping the Denis Hurley Centre (DHC) in its various programmes at the moment:
Any financial donation made by an individual or a business before next Monday (28 February) can help reduce your tax bill for this year! Financial donations are especially important to fund the life-saving work of our clinic which had over 20,000 patient interactions last year.

The community can volunteer to prepare breakfast and lunch on a Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Finally, people can buy books from the StreetLit vendors around town: follow DHC on Facebook to see where they are operating or look out for the bright green shirts. Every book you buy is helping a formerly homeless person stay off the streets.
