Recreating
the Soup Kitchen
In
the summer of 1847, the government set up some soup kitchens to give the
starving people hot soup. Huge boilers
were provided by The Quakers in which to cook the soup. By
August 1847, about 3 million people were being fed each day in total.
A soup kitchen
will be situated in the yard of Drogheda Borough Council which was during
famine times the site of one of many soup kitchens , the sole source of
nourishment for many of our forbearers.
Come along and
for a donation of €5 for adults and
€2.50 for children to Drogheda Homeless Aid a tasty lunch will be served.
