Real impact in our community. Real change happening locally.

Through our partnership with FoodCloud in 2025:

🥕 10,650kg of good food saved from going to waste
🍽️ The equivalent of 25,357 meals provided to local individuals and families
🌍 24,708kg of CO₂ emissions prevented

That’s food on tables.
That’s pressure eased for families.
That’s waste reduced and our environment protected.

This is what community looks like when we work together.

A heartfelt thank you to FoodCloud, our volunteers, staff, and everyone who supports the Social Supermarket. You are making a real difference in South West Wexford.
