FVLCRVM, Bad Karma Boy and Muzička will perform at Doma dobre charity event, which aims to help the homeless
Come and have fun while supporting homeless people. On Sunday, December 8, from 14:00, FVLCRVM and the bands Bad Karma Boy and Muzička will play a benefit concert at the St. Vincent de Paul Night Shelter in Bratislava. Admission to the event is free, but you can help the homeless by bringing warm clothes, non-perishable food, or functioning mobile phones. You can also support them by joining the "Adopt a Bed" donation or buying Depaul merch on the spot. The charity event Doma dobre is once again organized by Pohoda Festival in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Depaul Slovakia. It will be hosted by Martin Staňo and will take place at the St. Vincent de Paul Hostel on Ivanská cesta 32 in Bratislava.

In addition to the musical programme, there will also be a children's programme featuring a kids' corner and the Veteš Travelling Theatre has prepared a theatrical performance “Zobúdzanky” for children. You will also be able to see an exhibition of works "Wishes" by the clients of St. Vincent's Shelter. There will also be interesting workshop and discussion and a delicious Christmas cabbage soup for a voluntary contribution.
The goal of the event is to assist those who have lost their homes, raise awareness, and shed light on the real challenges faced by homeless people, especially during the difficult winter months. Doma dobre event also supports the “Adoptuj posteľ” (Adopt a Bed) initiative, backed by Depaul Slovakia.
What can you bring?
- Towels and blankets to keep the homeless warm in winter
- Non-perishable food items: sugar, citric acid powder (citrodeko), tea
- Functioning mobile phones with chargers (even old models or push-button phones), which will help homeless people to enter the job market.
“Adopt a Bed”
Depaul Slovakia's facilities cater to over two thousand people in need every year. They provide them with warm meals, clothing, social counseling, a secure bed, and most importantly, support and acceptance from Depaul staff. However, winter poses significant financial challenges for the Depaul organisation. By making a symbolic 'Adopt a Bed' donation on a regular basis, supporters can help Depaul to be there for those who seek help. For more info about this campaign, visit www.adoptujsipostel.sk.
Why do the homeless deserve our help?
The homeless are just like us. Many have lost a job, a loved one or are suffering from a serious illness. Depaul Slovakia is a non-profit organisation that strives to help all those who are left on the streets. Because the street is not and cannot be a home for anyone.
How to get to Doma dobre?
The premises can be reached by car or taxi directly to the address Ivanská cesta 32, Bratislava. If you prefer public transport, take the bus no. 61 heading to the airport and disembark at the Pri letisku and from there you will be guided to Depaul on foot by navigation boards. The no. 163 bus will take you from Račianske mýto to the Za Mokráňom stop at 01:25 pm (it is an extraordinary connection that is not marked in the bus timetable).
This project is financially supported by City of Bratislava Foundation, and media partners Rádio_FM, Startitup and Aktuality.sk.
