St Pat's appeal for more donations to Richmond Park food bank

St Pat's have appealed for more donations to their food bank at Richmond Park.

Saints this week opened their stadium doors by teaming up with Frontline Make Change and Dublin South City Partnership.

The food bank will provide supplies to vulnerable people in the Inchicore area during the Covid-19 crisis.

But St Pat’s Director of Football and former captain Ger O’Brien said: “We went out with just 70 food parcels today and to be honest we could have done with hundreds more.

“Anyone that can help in any way - because these people badly need it - get in touch with the club’s community officer David Morrissey.”

And O’Brien added: “We need to source so much more as soon as possible.”

The food packs include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice and other household items that will be delivered by volunteers.
