After School Fuel fills the gap for those children in our City that are unlikely to receive a square meal from when they finish school on Friday afternoon until they return to school on Monday morning
Whats we do for DEIS School Students
There are children in DEIS Schools in the City who avail of school meals during the week. However, at the weekend many of these children go hungry. Feed Cork has stepped into the gap and delivers seven nutritious meals and snacks to their homes every Friday.

After School Fuel and the Ireland Funds
We are proudly supported by the Heart for the Community 2024 funding provided by The Ireland Funds. With chapters in 12 countries, The Ireland Funds has raised over $650 million for deserving causes in Ireland and beyond, benefiting more than 3,200 different organizations. Feed Cork received €5,000 for the year to help us keep After School Fuel running and with their help we delivered over 36,000 meals to vulnerable school children to their homes every week of the year. A huge thank you to the Ireland Funds!
