176 years later and Ireland is still hungry Donate Despite the notion that hunger was something we left behind way back in the 1800’s, food poverty is still a huge, yet almost hidden problem in modern day Ireland. Over 100,000 children go to bed hungry every night 20% of parents regularly skip meals to feed their families The demand for food help increased by 70% as a result of Covid. As the cost of living soars in Ireland, these numbers are only set to skyrocket. Famine Food Bank provides us with a stark reminder that hunger isn’t something we left behind 176 years ago. When you donate €50 or more, we would love to send you a 10-pack of Christmas cards as a token of our gratitude. If you would like to receive the cards, simply write “I would like to receive a pack of Christmas cards” in the comment box when making your donation. Manage Cookie Preferences
