During the second week of July (12-17), we held our annual “Serve Days of Summer” initiative. Over the course of 6 days, we deployed some 40+ volunteers to serve on 11 different service projects across the city. We were joined by two small visiting teams from the U.S.
At St. Augustines school in Blackrock, we painted the interior of one of the dorm houses while some of our volunteers assisted the Shanganagh Community Development Project with their summer kids’ club. The rest of our volunteers were scattered across Dublin throughout the week, gardening and painting in areas like Crumlin, Sheriff Street, Beggar’s Bush, and Drumcondra.
We’re grateful for the partnerships with other organizations who helped us find significant opportunities to serve, as well as the volunteers to get the work done. Here are just a few:

The group sponsoring the Camino trip have kindly offered to promote Serve the City and to also use the ‘pilgrimage’ as an opportunity to raise some much needed funds for our volunteering efforts with Serve the City.
