As the cost of living continues to rise, more families than ever are turning to Crosscare for help. This year, almost 3,000 people – including 1,200 children – sought basic food support, while nearly 12,000 affordable meals were served in the Portland Row Community Café.
More than 10% of people in Ireland are now at risk of food poverty, and emergency parcels alone can’t address the growing pressures families face. Crosscare’s Food and Support model combines choice-based food access, low-cost meals, one-to-one casework, and wraparound supports such as welfare advice, budgeting help, and improved access to healthcare, education, and employment.
We believe in giving people a hand up, not a handout. Every donation helps someone stabilise their life and move toward independence.
Please support our 2025 Christmas Food Poverty Appeal. Your donation – big or small – will help provide food, stability, and a pathway towards independence for those who need it most. Donate at www.crosscare.ie or call 01 8360011.
