Taylor Swift’s recent sold-out concerts in Dublin have had a lasting impact on her multitude of fans, and her charitable efforts are expected to positively influence needy individuals in the city. Crosscare, a social welfare organisation initiated by the Catholic Church, expressed gratitude for a contribution given by the US-born artist post her Dublin visit.
The 34-year-old singer-songwriter has been reciprocating to the cities she performs in during the Eras Tour with generous donations. Although the exact amount donated by Swift to Crosscare wasn’t disclosed, the funds aid food banks like Crosscare buy provisions. Moreover, the publicity these donations garner helps raise attention towards the problem of food scarcity.
“Working with numerous families who find it arduous to provide nutritious food every week, we aid them with necessary food items, guide them to regain their footings and eventually become self-sufficient in the long term,” clarified the charity in a statement. “Swift’s donation will empower us to extend support to a larger number of families in need in the upcoming months.”
Crosscare supports needy individuals by providing food packages and guides them in gaining financial autonomy for self-sufficiency. “Last year our support extended to nearly 800 families, which included over 1,500 children, and we distributed upwards of 2,000 food-packages. The demand for our services is seeing an upswing, and Taylor Swift’s donation and the support from other contributors will enable us to strengthen this initiative, and extend it to those who need it the most,” Crosscare shared.
Those who require food and other kinds of assistance are encouraged to reach out to Crosscare through food@crosscare.ie or call them at (01) 8913022.
