Lights shine down on the windows of Cork’s Penny Dinners where cheery red posters thank the people of Cork for their support.

Inside, industrious volunteers sort through thousands of euros worth of food and new toy donations, dividing the goods into food parcels or Christmas hampers to be delivered to people who are struggling throughout Cork and its surrounding counties.
