At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Donegal Food Response Network formed organically, as community and voluntary organisations mobilised to support the more vulnerable members of the community.

Since the pandemic, there has been a significant increase in food poverty. The Donegal Food Response Network has become a vital support; the network is made up of 17 community and voluntary organisations who support people experiencing food poverty and food insecurity across Donegal. https://donegalfoodresponse.ie/
