Cork Penny Dinners is one of Cork's oldest caring charitable organisations.

Currently serving up to 2000 freshly made meals per week are being served at our premises compared to approx. 150 or less per week prior to the recession.

Our aims are simple - to help all who struggle and those in need. Cork Penny Dinners provide a hot nourishing meal of soup, main course, dessert and tea/coffee daily.  In addition  sandwiches, biscuits, fruit and juice are also available to take away as an evening meal.

Donations of warm clothes and bedding such as sleeping bags and duvets are also provided to people in need.

There is always an open door and a warm welcome. Cork Penny Dinners are open 7 days a week all year round including Christmas Day.


We never judge, we serve.  

Cork Penny Dinners are a Registered Charity – CHY 4971. Our funding comes from individuals, companies, and local organisations. Many companies and individuals help with donations of goods, produce and expertise. These Donations facilitate the day to day running of the service.
