Are you struggling to put food on the table? Confidential help is at hand throughout Donegal

More and more people in Donegal are finding it difficult to make ends meet.

The recent hike in fuel and electricity prices have pushed many people beyond the point where they could feed their families, meet their bills and keep themselves warm.

With Christmas approaching, a record number of people don’t know where their next meal will come from. Many are making difficult decisions on a day to day basis about how to best manage their very limited resources.

The Donegal Food Response Network is reassuring people that help is at hand in terms of the most immediate need - food.

A spokesperson said: “If you or a family you know is in need this Christmas please contact a member of the Donegal Food Response Network.

“All calls and correspondence will be treated with the strictest confidence and discretion.

“No-one should ever go hungry.”

Donegal Food Response Network is working with community organisations around Donegal to provide local drop-off and collection points for food.

The following are part of the network, and people are encouraged to make contact in confidence:
