Be part of the fight to end food poverty: why should you help us?
The issue of food poverty often goes unnoticed and those in food poverty often feel ashamed. At Feed Cork, we go out of our way to help remove the stigma and offer a dignified food bank experience. Our food bank is arranged like a typical food store and a café-style waiting room. The Feed Cork food bank provides for 180 families each week and, in our first 5 years, we have provided 2 million meals to families.
