Preparations Underway For Annual Sleep Out For Simon Midwest

People in Clare are being called on to help out any way they can for the annual Sleep Out For Simon fundraiser at Thomond Park.

It’s to raise awareness about the ongoing homelessness crisis in the MidWest, as well as to raise funds to help keep the foodbanks in this region going.

In 2016 alone, Midwest Simon distributed 56 tonnes of food – which is 126,944 meals for 5,804 people.
