Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Limerick
Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Limerick.
🇮🇪 Limerick, Munster, Ireland3,726 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Bread & Beans Kitchen every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 90 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Limerick market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,000
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $650
• Refrigeration and electricity: $300
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Una. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Caloocan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Caloocan
How is Una doing now?
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Una
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Vigo
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Una?
Thank you. If you're in Limerick I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
so sorry you're going through this, Una. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Limerick.
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
