Get good food.
Every day across Ireland, community organisations support people who need it most. At the same time, perfectly good food is going to waste.
FoodCloud brings these two things together.
We connect surplus food from businesses to charities and community groups, helping ensure good food reaches people who need it.
Today, more than 600 organisations across Ireland share food through FoodCloud, creating healthier, stronger and more connected communities.

When we share food, we strengthen our communities.
How to access perfectly good food,
Direct local donations.
Our app connects your organisation with friendly food businesses nearby that have surplus food available. Good food shared quickly, safely and locally.
How it works:
- Businesses upload details of available food and collection times.
- You receive a notification through the FoodCloud app.
- You accept the donation if it suits your needs.
- Collect the food directly from the business.
Our regional Hubs.
Our Hubs in Cork, Dublin and Galway operate a membership programme that connects your organisation with good food from producers, retailers and wholesalers nationwide.
Hub members can:
- Order exactly what you need or choose the categories that best suit your organisations needs.
- Collect directly or request delivery. Our Hubs deliver to 18 counties nationwide.
Surplus food comes in many shapes and sizes, and allows our partners to try new things that they might not have otherwise! The following foods are frequently received by our partners:
- Fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Bread and baked goods.
- Dairy products.
- Prepared meals.
- Packaged groceries.
- Seasonal farm surplus.
All food shared through FoodCloud is safe, good quality and perfectly good to eat. It’s simply extra.
