Founded in 1969 by Capuchin friar, Brother Kevin Crowley, and inspired by the spirit of St Francis Assisi, the Centre was set up to ‘relieve the hardship endured by homeless people.

Situated in Bow Street, Dublin 7, the Day Centre started out providing meals for the homeless in Dublin and has developed its services over the years to meet the presenting needs of those who come seeking food and support.
​
From hot meals, food parcels, showering facilities and clothing to medical, optical, dental and family services, the Capuchin Day Centre is committed to providing practical, meaningful support to those who seek help.
