Activities aimed at providing aid to the most deprived in our society are funded by the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived, through the Food and/or Basic Material Assistance Programme.
The focus of the fund will be on those on the margins of society in need of essential supports. It will ensure a reliable supply of food to the charitable sector over the life of the Programme, with approved organisations collecting food produce from three regional hubs in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
Food will be made available to all eligible organisations from an approved food schedule compiled by the Department of Social Protection following consultation with the charitable sector. The food items consist of basic, non-perishable foods which are easy to transport and store.
In addition to this operation Department of Social Protection will accept FEAD applications for other food and basic material assistance operations. Applications can be made using this form .
