This weekend, September 14^th, and 15^th, Crosscare will hold its Annual Appeal for those most in need. This will replace the Share collection at all Masses. Crosscare delivers a wide range of homeless, youth, and food poverty support to people at various stages of poverty or marginalisation. Regrettably, the demand for these vital services continues to increase, and Crosscare relies on your generosity to reach as many people as possible who need help. Please support the Crosscare collection if you can or you can donate online at www.crosscare.ie.

As a brief example of our work with those most in need-last year, we at Crosscare

• Provided accommodation for 800 individuals and families who have no home.
• Supported 12,000 people, including those facing homelessness, those on low incomes, and those marginalised.
• Helped 180 young people who left care when they turned 18 and faced life on their own.
• Helped 750 families, including 1500 children who experienced food poverty.
• Expanded our youth services-street work, detached work, and outreach to over 4,500 marginalised children, young people, and their families.
