'We’ll be lost without it' - Elderly worried as Covid-19 pandemic threatens to close meals on wheels service

A Limerick meals on wheels service, which was operating on a shoestring due to financial pressures from Covid-19, is to close on April 5 unless it receives further emergency funding.

The organisers of the service, St Munchin’s Community Centre, in Kileely, serves 200 meals a day to elderly and vulnerable clients across Limerick and parts of Clare but was planning for to deliver 1,000 meals a day due to increased demand.
