Remember a while ago, when we mentioned a while ago that Luas had teamed up with Inner City Helping Homeless to launch a Christmas Shoe Box Appeal?
Well, the time has come – and tomorrow’s the big day.
Their #fillatram initiative is aiming at, quite literally, filling a tram with gifts, for those spending Christmas in different places other than homes this festive season.
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve seen that the #fillatram hashtag has been doing pretty well on Twitter.

Last year they received 3000 gifts, and this year they’re hoping to take in 5000.
Gifts may be delivered to the Connolly Luas Stop between 7am – 7pm, and must be delivered in an unwrapped shoebox. You can find recommended gifts here.
