'We don't judge and we don't say no' Local food bank operator. A locally operated food bank based in Co Cavan has seen a significant increase over the past 12 months in the use of their service.
Ballyjamesduff Food Bank has been operating across Cavan; and beyond for a number of years.
The service is run in confidence within the locality. Indeed, to help individuals and families experiencing food insecurity or poverty.
According to Noel Kelly who runs the community group, we don't judge and we don't say no. He said when people first reach out to the service, there's a lot of embarrassment because there's so much stigma around food poverty. Noel joined Ronan Gargan on the Wider View earlier today.
