Rising food prices, coupled with the cost of living crisis, has led to an exceptionally busy year for Tralee’s soup kitchen.
Co-founder Collette Price, says there’s been a steady rise since last spring in the number of people arriving at the kitchen every Saturday.
She says the new faces they’ve been seeing, are mostly local and from all walks of life.
