Mission Statement
Dublin Christian Mission (DCM) is the second oldest city mission in the world providing services to inner-city communities in Dublin through supporting a variety of needs and building meaningful relationships. In all of our activities, serving the homeless, youth/families and our communities, it is our belief that the greatest impact will be accomplished by engaging in individual lives with love and compassion. Many that once used our services or similar are now part of our volunteer team creating a powerful example. DCM operates strictly on donations.
About This Cause
1. DCM operates a homeless drop-in centre called The Light House which provides meals, personal items, advice, life skills and most importantly friendship. Through relationships and providing in practical ways we assist our guests with housing, treatment centres, training opportunities and job assistance, mentoring and spiritual guidance. Those that gain a new direction are encouraged to volunteer. We are also involved in street work outreach. 2. Youth work that includes youth clubs, outings and summer camp. Clubs are held both in our facility and the community. Activities include sports, crafts, cooking, homework assistance, team building, learning and mentoring.

We also provide activities and assistance to the families in these communities. 3. Taste & See Cafe is a coffee shop that is used to connect with the community and the community with the Mission. Amazing beginnings can start over a cup of coffee. The coffee shop is also used for meetings and special event. 4.
