It has been an incredibly busy and rewarding few weeks here at Street Angels. As the season shifts, so does the energy of our outreach, and we have plenty of news to share with the community that makes our work possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Chapter at Kyrl\u2019s Quay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are officially settled into our new hub at <strong>Kyrl\u2019s Quay<\/strong>! Transitioning to a new space is always a challenge, but we are finding our rhythm. This location has already become a vital sanctuary for those we serve. We would like to thank Cork City Council for providing this space to us and the other groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Monday, we continue to see a high volume of friends and neighbors seeking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hot food and warm drinks.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weather-appropriate clothing, including shoes.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A safe space for connection and conversation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gratitude for Our Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recently celebrated Easter at the hub, and it was a wonderful reminder of the spirit of giving. We want to extend a massive thank you to our regular donors. Your consistency allowed us to provide a little extra joy and comfort during the holiday period\u2014we couldn&#8217;t have done it without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fitzpatrick\u2019s Foodstore <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Donatello\u2019s Pizza <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Domino\u2019s Pizza <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Murphy\u2019s Chipper <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Baker Street Bar <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Poppa Bills<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hello and Farewell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of Street Angels is its people. This month, we\u2019ve seen some changes in our team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Welcome:<\/strong> A warm welcome to our several new volunteers! Your energy and willingness to dive in have been a breath of fresh air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Farewell:<\/strong> We are saying a fond farewell to a few long-term volunteers who have moved on to new chapters. Thank you for the hours, the heart, and the hard work you dedicated to our mission. You will be missed!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the Basics: Rehabilitation Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our work often goes deeper than a hot meal. We are currently walking alongside two men as they navigate their rehabilitation journeys. Supporting individuals as they reclaim their lives is intensive work, but it is some of the most impactful outreach we do. We are incredibly proud of their progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How You Can Help: The Rising Costs of Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As our outreach grows, so do our overheads. Providing even the simplest comforts has become a significant financial undertaking. To give you an idea of our baseline costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The &#8220;Essentials&#8221; Bill:<\/strong> Just providing tea, coffee, sugar, and milk for our visitors currently costs us <strong>\u20ac160 per week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is <strong>\u20ac640 a month<\/strong> just for the basic ingredients of a warm welcome, before we even consider food, clothing, or rehabilitation support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are in a position to help, please consider a monetary donation. Whether it\u2019s the cost of a bag of coffee or a larger contribution toward our rehab advocacy, every Euro goes directly toward keeping the lights on and the kettles boiling at Kyrl\u2019s Quay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-street-angels-cork wp-block-embed-street-angels-cork\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"QKZHFexoRp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/streetangels.ie\/index.php\/donate\/\">Donate To Street Angels<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Donate To Street Angels&#8221; &#8212; Street Angels Cork\" src=\"https:\/\/streetangels.ie\/index.php\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=7W2FPKCpx0#?secret=QKZHFexoRp\" data-secret=\"QKZHFexoRp\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for standing with us and for being the &#8220;Angels&#8221; our streets need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2014 Hazel, Michel and The Street Angels Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our May update!
