The Irish Wheelchair Association, Resource and Outreach Centre (ROC) in Lucan, Co. Dublin is supporting people on low incomes and experiencing financial hardship. The food we get from the FoodCloud Hub enables our members to experience and cook with wholesome ingredients. We call our initiative 'The Help Yourself Shelf'. We also ask that our members remember their community and share what they get. This way everyone gets the opportunity to help themselves. 

As the cost of living continues to rise, this initiative makes a big difference to our members' daily lives. It also shows the great strides FoodCloud is making to prevent food waste. 

We are currently waiting on our kitchen renovation where we will be able to provide cooking classes to demonstrate how to cook healthy meals from scratch. We aim to support our members with healthy cooking skills that will carry them through their lives, long after they move on from our service. We could not do this without the support from Foodcloud, for which we and all our members are very grateful.
