Play right cards for homeless

MORE than 150 Irish companies will be helping make Christmas a little more festive for hundreds of homeless people this year.

They are supporting the Simon Communities House of Cards Appeal, which encourages employers to make a donation to the organisation rather than sending corporate cards to clients and suppliers.

The Simon Community groups in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Dundalk will use the funds raised for emergency services to provide food, warmth and shelter for those sleeping rough in the country’s cities and towns.
